PEDIATRICS

We offer comprehensive care in the management of problems related to newborns and children

Neonatology is the specialized care of the sick newborns including premature babies. With the advent of newer therapeutic modalities, including means of supporting extremely preterm infants in incubators, providing breathing support on mechanical ventilator and helping their nutrition via parenteral nutrition (nutrition through the veins) has tremendously improved the survival of   extremely premature mature babies born as early as four mouths before their due dates.
PEDIATRIC SURGERY
Surgical expertise is available for correction of major congenital malformations in the neonate and children such as congenital heart conditions; management of surgical emergencies and complex surgical problems in children such as tumors. Subspecialists are available round the clock for quick consults and comprehensive management of complex medical and surgical conditions.
We had helped many patients needing surgical management, such as:
–Biliary atresia: a condition in which bile, the green or brown liquid produced by the liver, does not empty from the liver due to a congenital malformation. This condition is diagnosed through an ultrasound, liver biopsy and nuclear medicine scan that determine the path bile takes from the liver. Surgery is then performed to reconstruct the bile ducts and reattach them to the liver. This is a fatal condition if not diagnosed and treated in timely fashion.
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation – often diagnosed through an ultrasound, this is a congenital condition in which a lobe of the lung does not develop properly; instead, an abnormal lung tissue that does not work correctly is formed Expecting mothers are closely monitored during pregnancy. After birth, the abnormal tissue is removed.
Esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula (abnormal pathways in the body) – conditions in which the trachea and esophagus do not form correctly during a baby’s development and may not connect properly
Treatment consists of closing the fistula and reconnecting the tubes to the proper organs soon after a baby’s birth.
Gallbladder problems – infections in the gallbladder caused by a viral or other cause. In certain cases, the gallbladder may be removed through minimally invasive surgery or, if required, traditional surgery.
Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) – acid reflux; a condition in which food and the digestive juices (or acid) travel up the esophagus.
Treatment includes tightening of the area at the end of the esophagus that allows food to travel into the stomach but not come back up the esophagus.
Gastroschisis – a congenital condition in which a baby’s stomach or intestines protrude out of the body due to an opening in the baby’s abdomen
Expecting mothers are closely monitored during pregnancy. Soon after the baby’s birth, we will place the intestines and/or stomach back into the baby’s body and, if possible, close the opening.
Hernia – a condition in which a hole in the groin does not close after birth; fluid and intestines may pass through this opening
This is one of the most common surgeries performed on children. During surgery, the herniated tissue is put back in its correct location and the opening or weakness in the muscle wall is closed or repaired.
Pyloric stenosis – a narrowing of the opening between the stomach and small intestine
Surgery is performed to enlarge the opening between the stomach and small intestine to allow food to pass.
Gastroschisis – a congenital condition in which a baby’s stomach or intestines protrude out of the body due to an opening in the baby’s abdomen
Expecting mothers are closely monitored during pregnancy. Soon after the baby’s birth, we will place the intestines and/or stomach back into the baby’s body and, if possible, close the opening.
Congenital heart disease :a condition where infant is born with abnormally formed heart or has abnormal connections. Examples include holes in heart ( ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect), patent ductus arteriosus, tetralogy of fallot, transposition of great vessels.
