What are the Conditions we treat

Pediatric surgical conditions include a various disorder that may be present at birth or develop during childhood. Some of these conditions require immediate intervention, while others may need planned surgical management.

Neonatal & Congenital Conditions

These conditions are present at birth and often need early medical or surgical care. Treating them on time helps the baby grow normally and avoids serious health problems later.

Intestinal Malrotation - In this condition, the intestines are not in their normal position inside the abdomen. This can twist the bowel and block food passage, causing pain sometimes green vomiting, and swelling. Surgery is usually needed to correct it.
Intestinal Atresia - A part of the intestine is missing or closed from birth. Because of this, food cannot pass normally through the intestine. Surgery helps connect the healthy parts so digestion can work properly.
Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis (IHPS) - In IHPS, the muscle at the outlet of the stomach becomes too thick. This prevents milk from passing into the intestine, leading to frequent vomiting in babies. It is adequately treated in surgery.
Anorectal Malformations (ARM) - This condition occurs when the anus and rectum do not develop normally are sometimes connected to urinary passage. The baby may not be able to pass stool properly. It has a wide spectrum in both males and females. Surgical correction helps restore normal bowel function.
Tracheo-Esophageal Fistula (TEF) - TEF is an abnormal connection between the food pipe and the windpipe. This can cause feeding problems and breathing difficulty. Early surgery is important to allow safe feeding and breathing.
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) - In CDH, there is a hole in the diaphragm, allowing abdominal organs to move into the chest. This affects lung growth and breathing. Surgery places the organs back and repairs the diaphragm.

Pediatric Urology Conditions

These conditions affect the kidneys, bladder, urine passage, and genital organs in children. Early treatment helps protect kidney health and normal development.

UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) – UTI in children can give an indication of an underlying serious problem. It should be investigated and treated in caution.
Undescended Testis - One or both testes do not move down into the scrotum before birth. If not treated, it can affect fertility later. A simple surgery places the testis in the correct position.
Hypospadias - In hypospadias, the urine opening is not at the tip of the penis. This can affect urination and future function. Surgical repair helps correct the opening and appearance.
Phimosis - Phimosis means the foreskin is too tight and cannot be pulled back. It may cause pain, infection, or difficulty in passing urine. Treatment may include medicines or surgery.
Posterior Urethral Valves (PUV) - PUV is a blockage in the urine passage of male babies. This causes difficulty in urine flow and can damage the kidneys. Early surgery removes the blockage to protect kidney function.
Vesico-Ureteral Reflux (VUR) - In VUR, urine flows backward from the bladder to the kidneys. This can cause repeated infections and kidney damage. Treatment depends on severity and may include medicines or surgery.
Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction (PUJO) - PUJO is a blockage where the kidney connects to the urine tube. This leads to swelling of the kidney, deterioration of its function and poor urine flow. Surgery helps restore normal drainage.
Bladder Exstrophy & Epispadias - These are conditions where the bladder or urinary opening does not form properly. They need surgeries to improve urine control and quality of life.

Pediatric Gastrointestinal Conditions

These conditions affect the stomach, intestines, liver, and bile ducts. Many require surgery for proper digestion and growth.

Appendicitis - Appendicitis is swelling and infection of the appendix. It causes abdominal pain and fever. Surgery to remove the appendix is the standard treatment.
Hirschsprung Disease - In this condition, part of the intestine lacks nerve cells, causing severe constipation and blockage. Surgery removes the affected portion to allow normal bowel movement.
Intestinal Obstruction - This is a blockage in the intestine that stops food from passing. It can cause vomiting, pain, and swelling. Surgical treatment removes the blockage.
Biliary Atresia - Biliary atresia is a condition where bile ducts are blocked or absent in newborns. This causes liver damage and Jaundice if untreated. Early surgery helps improve bile flow.
Choledochal Cyst - This condition involves abnormal dilatation of bile ducts. It can cause pain, jaundice, and infection. Surgery removes the cyst to prevent liver problems.
Cholelithiasis (Gallstones) - Gallstones can cause abdominal pain and vomiting. Surgery may be needed, and stone persist.

Pediatric Neurosurgical Conditions

These conditions affect the brain and spine. Early treatment helps protect brain development.

Hydrocephalus - Hydrocephalus occurs when excess fluid builds up in the brain. This increases pressure and can harm brain development. A surgical procedure helps drain the fluid.
Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) - These are birth defects of the brain and spine that develop early in pregnancy. Surgery helps protect nerves and prevent further damage.
Meningomyelocele (MMC) - A severe form of spinal defect where the spinal cord is exposed. Early surgery reduces infection risk and nerve damage.
Meningocele - In this condition, a fluid-filled sac forms outside the spine. Surgery closes the defect to protect the spinal cord.
Occipital Encephalocele - Part of the brain protrudes through an opening in the skull at the back of the head. Surgical repair helps protect brain tissue.
Thoracic & Cervical MMC - These defects occur in the upper spine and can affect movement and breathing. Early surgical care improves outcomes.

Pediatric Surgical Oncology

Pediatric surgical oncology is a specialised field that focuses on the surgical treatment of cancers in infants, children, and adolescents. It works as part of a multidisciplinary team to diagnose and safely remove tumours, and to support comprehensive cancer care for children.

Wilms Tumour: Wilms tumour is a common kidney cancer seen in young children, usually below 5 years of age. It often presents as a painless swelling or lump in the child’s abdomen and is mainly treated with surgery, along with chemotherapy and sometimes radiotherapy.
Neuroblastoma: Neuroblastoma is a cancer that develops from immature nerve cells and usually starts in the adrenal glands or along the spine. It mainly affects infants and young children and can cause abdominal swelling, pain, or weakness, with treatment involving surgery, chemotherapy, and other advanced therapies depending on the stage.
Sacrococcygeal Teratoma: Sacrococcygeal teratoma is a rare tumour seen in newborns and infants that develops at the base of the spine near the tailbone. It is usually treated with early surgical removal and has a good outcome when diagnosed and managed on time.
Retroperitoneal Teratoma: Retroperitoneal teratoma is a rare tumour that develops in the space behind the abdominal organs, mainly in infants and young children. It often presents as an abdominal mass and is primarily treated with surgical removal, with good outcomes when managed early.

Miscellaneous

There are multiple other surgical conditions in children example Absorbed openings/ Cysts in the neck/ extra digit in hands or feet baby, which might require the attention of a pediatric surgeon.

Diagnosis
