Best Paediatric Surgery & Urology Hospital in Mumbai, India

Paediatric Urology is a sub-speciality of surgery which deals with disorders of the Genitourinary System in children that may be present since birth. These disorders in children are very different from that of an adult and include conditions associated with the kidneys, ureters, bladder, sexual and reproductive organs. 

We at the unit are committed to offering treatment for a wide range of urological problems affecting children including obstructions in urinary tract, vesicoureteral reflux, hypospadias, incontinence, undescended testes, genital abnormalities, and tumours of the kidney, bladder, testes, and vagina in children. Our team of highly experienced surgeons perform the most complex endoscopic, laparoscopic, & robotic surgeries endoscopic, laparoscopic, & robotic surgeries.

We offer treatment for a wide range of urologic problems affecting children, including obstructions in the urinary tract, hypospadias, vesicoureteral reflux, incontinence, genital abnormalities, undescended testes, and tumours of the kidney, bladder, vagina, and testes in children. Our team of highly-trained surgeons holds great expertise in performing laparoscopic, endoscopic & robotic urological surgeries with high precision and in a secure environment. The team follows a combined management approach and work in collaboration with our obstetrician and paediatric nephrologists, thereby, ensuring the best possible outcomes and focus on improving the quality of life of every patient.

Urological surgeries we offer include:

• Artificial Urinary Sphincter Implantation: It is an advanced procedure that involves implantation of a device to treat moderate to severe conditions related to urinary incontinence, by restricting the urine flow.
• Bladder Reconstruction: It is a surgical procedure to construct a bigger bladder, generally performed for children with incontinence due to posterior urethral valves or spinal anomalies (neurogenic bladder).
• Cystoscopy: It is a minimally invasive telescopic examination of the urinary bladder and urethra.
• Deflux Procedure: It is a non-invasive procedure that is used to treat vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). It involves injecting sterilized, biodegradable gel called Deflux into the bladder wall. 
• Drug Therapy/ Pharmacotherapy: Under this therapy, a doctor provides medicine to treat disease.
• Endourologic Surgery/Ureterorenoscopy (URS): It is a minimally invasive procedure used for treating kidney stones. 
• Genitoplasty/Vaginoplasty: It is a type of a reconstructive functional & plastic surgery performed over genitals to treat a variety of endocrine conditions, congenital disorders (such as disorders of sexual differentiation), to repair injuries, and damage that has arisen due to cancer treatment.
• Penile and Urethral Reconstruction: It is reconstructive surgery procedure performed for hypospadias, chordee, megalourethra, traumatic stricture of the urethra and other conditions.
• Robotic Surgery: It is an advanced technology used to perform complex operations such as pyeloplasty, ureteral reimplantation, bladder augmentation, detrusorotomy etc.
• Ureteral Reimplantation: It is a surgery performed to treat vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). VUR is a condition in which urine available in the bladder flows back into the kidneys.

Various Urological Disorders we treat include:

• Hypospadias
• Pelviureteric Junction Obstruction (Pyeloplasty) – Open, Laparoscopic & Robotic

It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to treat children with a variety of medical conditions requiring surgery. The surgery performed by making a few small size (3 or 5 mm) incisions and involves the use of a thin, flexible optical instrument known as a laparoscope, which is inserted through one of these incisions for performing the surgery. It is the safest, efficient, technically feasible surgical technique offering many advantages over traditional methods. It is also very well tolerated in infants, young children, and teenagers.

Recently, the unit has also started offering highly advanced Robotic surgery to infants and children. This technique enables high precision for complex operations requiring reconstruction of stomach, intestines, kidneys, ureters, bladder and removal of tumours from chest and abdomen etc.

The Paediatric Urodynamic provides studies to evaluate bladder and urethral sphincter functioning in children. The unit offers a full spectrum of paediatric urodynamic tests to analyse the inside of your child’s bladder. These tests are usually performed for the testing of conditions such as neurogenic bladder, urinary incontinence (when a child experiences trouble staying dry), has other problems peeing (urination), having a urinary tract infection (UTI), or have structural problems with their urinary system.

It is a subset within general radiography specialising in the diagnosis of illnesses, injuries, and diseases of infants, children, and adolescents, using imaging techniques and equipment. We have a team of highly trained paediatric radiologists, paediatric anaesthesiologists, paediatric radiologic technologists, and paediatric nurses who follows a multidisciplinary approach to design a comprehensive treatment plan by involving a patient’s family. They make sure that every child under their care receives high-quality care in a comfortable and friendly environment.

The cutting-edge paediatric-specific low-radiation techniques we offer:

• Computed Tomography (CT)
• X-ray
• Fluoroscopy

Non-radiation imaging modalities like 

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• Ultrasound
   

We have a team of well-trained paediatric anaesthesiologists committed to advancing the delivery of the most comprehensive anaesthesia care to infants and children undergoing various diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical procedures. The unit offers a multimodal approach to manage pain conditions associated with complex surgical/medical conditions as well as acute perioperative pain. We aim at providing care for neonates to young adults in a safe environment while improving outcomes for paediatric patients who require anaesthesia for non-surgical and surgical procedures.

Congenital Anomalies are usually the structural/functional anomalies or birth defect that affects the way a baby looks, develop, or function. About 3% to 4% of babies born each year have congenital disorders which may be there for a particular time or in some cases for the rest of their lives. Our highly experienced antenatal counsellors offer the comprehensive antenatal counselling to families for congenital anomaly based on various tests and diagnostic reports of their children.
