Mrs. Sonali Singh, a resident of Lucknow, was deeply worried when her 4-month-old baby, Shravika Singh, began experiencing difficulty while urinating. Concerned for her child’s health, she took her for an ultrasound, which revealed swelling in one of the kidneys. The family visited several hospitals for advice and treatment, but nothing seemed to work.

Finally, they came to Tender Palm Super-Speciality Hospital, Lucknow, where they met Dr. Firoz Mohammad Khan, Associate Director – Urology. After thorough evaluation and diagnostic tests, Dr. Khan found that baby Shravika was suffering from PUJ Obstruction (Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction) — a congenital condition that blocks urine flow from the kidney to the bladder. If left untreated, this condition could permanently damage the kidney.

Dr. Khan carefully explained the situation to the parents and suggested a laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, which is a minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions. Performing such surgery in an infant is highly delicate and technically challenging. However, with Dr. Khan’s expertise and the hospital’s advanced infrastructure, the surgery was performed successfully.

After the procedure, baby Shravika recovered quickly and began urinating normally. Today, she is completely healthy, pain-free, and growing like any other child her age.

Expressing her gratitude, Mrs. Sonali Singh said:

“We were very scared and had lost hope after visiting many hospitals. But at Tender Palm Hospital, Dr. Firoz Khan gave us confidence and treated our daughter with great care. We are truly thankful to the doctors and staff for saving our child and bringing happiness back to our lives.”

Dr. Firoz Mohammad Khan explained that PUJ Obstruction is a common congenital problem in infants, and timely diagnosis with laparoscopic correction can help preserve kidney function and ensure a healthy life ahead. At Tender Palm Super-Speciality Hospital, Lucknow, the Department of Urology provides advanced pediatric urology treatments, including laparoscopic and reconstructive surgeries, offering hope and healing to even the youngest patients.
