Department of Paediatric Surgery
Specialized Surgical Care for Newborns, Infants, Children, and Adolescents with Compassion and Precision.
The Department of Paediatric Surgery provides the highest level of surgical care exclusively for patients from birth through adolescence. Our specialized approach recognizes that children's surgical needs, physiological responses, and psychological anxieties are unique and require dedicated expertise.
We are equipped for **Neonatal Surgery**, managing complex congenital anomalies (birth defects) immediately after birth, in collaboration with our world-class NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). Early and precise intervention is crucial for long-term health.
Our team is highly skilled in **Minimally Invasive Paediatric Surgery (MIPS)**, utilizing small incisions (laparoscopy and thoracoscopy) for procedures like appendectomies, pyeloplasty, and abdominal tumors, resulting in less pain, virtually scar-less healing, and faster return home.
We manage the full spectrum of surgical problems in children, from common issues like hernia and hydrocele to complex conditions involving the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and respiratory systems.
Key Areas of Paediatric Surgical Care
Neonatal Surgery
Corrective surgery for life-threatening birth defects in newborns, including intestinal atresia and congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIPS)
Laparoscopic and Thoracoscopic procedures, enabling 'keyhole' surgery for faster recovery and reduced trauma in children.
Paediatric Urology
Specialized treatment for congenital and acquired urinary tract and genital problems, such as hypospadias and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
Paediatric Surgical Oncology
Multidisciplinary surgical management of childhood cancers, including Wilms' Tumor and Neuroblastoma.
Dedicated Paediatric Facilities
Level III NICU Collaboration
Immediate access to a dedicated Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for stabilization and post-operative care of surgical newborns.
Infant-Specific Laparoscopy Towers
Specialized, small-diameter instruments and visualization systems designed exclusively for minimally invasive surgery in children.
Paediatric Anesthesia Team
A dedicated team of expert anesthetists trained to manage the unique respiratory and fluid needs of children and newborns during surgery.
Child-Friendly Surgical Wards
Hospital environments designed to reduce anxiety, with age-appropriate distractions and parental accommodation for emotional support.
Advanced Imaging (Low-Dose)
Access to low-dose CT and MRI protocols, minimizing radiation exposure during pre-operative planning and follow-up.
Cystoscopy and Endourology Suite
Micro-instruments for endoscopic procedures on the urinary tract (bladder, ureters) of very young patients.
Conditions Treated & Surgical Procedures
Neonatal and Complex Congenital Anomalies
Life-saving and corrective surgeries performed on newborns to repair conditions present since birth, often involving the digestive tract.
General & Minimally Invasive Paediatric Surgery (MIPS)
Routine and intermediate surgical procedures managed with keyhole techniques for quicker recovery and minimal scarring.
Paediatric Urology
Corrective procedures on the kidneys, bladder, and genitalia to ensure normal development and urinary function in children.
Our Commitment to Paediatric Well-being
Child-Centric Care Model
Our entire process, from pre-op preparation to recovery, is tailored to meet the emotional and developmental needs of children.
High Volume MIPS Center
Expertise in performing complex laparoscopic and thoracoscopic procedures, minimizing pain and allowing for rapid discharge.
Multidisciplinary Team Approach
Close collaboration with Neonatologists, Paediatric Intensivists, Paediatric Oncologists, and Geneticists for comprehensive care.
Functional Outcome Focus
A primary goal of all procedures, particularly in Paediatric Urology, is ensuring optimal long-term organ function and quality of life.
Infection Control Excellence
Strict protocols in place, especially within the NICU and operating theatres, to protect vulnerable paediatric patients from infection.
Post-Surgical Home Support
Providing detailed instructions and rapid access to the surgical team for seamless transition and recovery at home.
