About Paediatric Surgery

Safe and Personalised Surgical Care for Children

The Paediatric Surgery service at Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and Research provides surgical care for children in a supportive, child-friendly, and family-centred environment.

Our team supports children through outpatient consultations, referrals, second opinions, pre-surgical evaluations, inpatient care, laparoscopic surgery, urological procedures, hernia surgery, appendectomy, post-operative care, PICU support where required, and emergency surgical services.

We understand that surgery for a child can feel overwhelming for parents. Dedicated coordinators help families with appointment planning, reliable estimates, pre-operative preparation, admission guidance, documentation, and follow-up coordination, making the treatment journey clearer and more comfortable.

Our approach focuses on accurate diagnosis, child safety, personalised treatment planning, minimally invasive techniques wherever clinically appropriate, and avoiding surgery where possible.

Our Paediatric Surgery Services

Outpatient Consultations

Our outpatient consultations help parents receive timely surgical evaluation for their child’s condition.

During consultation, the paediatric surgeon may review:

  • Child’s symptoms and duration
  • Previous diagnosis or referral notes
  • Existing reports and scans
  • Medical history
  • Previous surgeries, if any
  • Current medicines
  • Whether surgery is required or can be avoided
  • Surgical and non-surgical options
  • Expected recovery timeline
  • Need for further tests, imaging, or admission

The goal is to help parents understand the child’s condition clearly before any treatment decision is made.

Referrals and Second Opinions

Parents may consult the Paediatric Surgery team when surgery has been advised elsewhere or when they want a second opinion before proceeding.

The doctor may review the diagnosis, reports, treatment options, timing of surgery, possible risks, expected recovery, and whether minimally invasive treatment is suitable.

Telemedicine Services

Telemedicine services may be available for suitable follow-ups, report reviews, counselling, and non-emergency concerns.

This can help parents access guidance more conveniently before or after surgery, where clinically appropriate.

Pre-Surgical Evaluation

Pre-surgical evaluation helps assess whether surgery is needed, whether the child is fit for surgery, and which surgical approach may be most suitable.

This may include:

  • Detailed consultation
  • Review of reports and investigations
  • Imaging review, where required
  • Anaesthesia evaluation
  • Risk assessment
  • Discussion of surgical options
  • Explanation of preparation and recovery
  • Cost estimate and admission guidance
  • Pre-operative instructions
  • Support from patient coordinators
  • Preventive and Planned Surgical Care

Some paediatric surgical conditions may be identified during routine consultations, preventive check-ups, or follow-up visits.

Preventive and planned surgical care may include monitoring, timely evaluation, counselling, and treatment planning so that concerns are addressed before complications arise.

Surgical and Treatment Support

Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical approach that may be used for selected paediatric surgical conditions.

Where clinically suitable, laparoscopic surgery may support:

  • Smaller incisions
  • Less post-operative discomfort
  • Faster recovery
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Earlier return to routine activities

Suitability depends on the child’s age, diagnosis, medical condition, imaging findings, and surgeon’s assessment.

Hernia Surgery

Hernias in children may require surgical evaluation and treatment.

The Paediatric Surgery team supports diagnosis, counselling, surgical planning, inpatient care, and post-operative follow-up for children with hernia-related concerns.

Appendectomy

Appendectomy is surgery to remove the appendix and may be required in children with appendicitis.

Appendicitis can sometimes need urgent assessment and timely surgical care. Treatment is planned based on the child’s symptoms, examination findings, reports, and clinical condition.

Paediatric Urological Procedures

The Paediatric Surgery team provides support for selected urological procedures in children.

Care may include evaluation, surgical planning, pre-operative guidance, inpatient support, and follow-up depending on the child’s condition and treatment need.

Inpatient Paediatric Surgical Care

For children who require admission, inpatient care focuses on safety, comfort, monitoring, recovery, and parent communication.

Inpatient support may include:

  • Admission coordination
  • Pre-operative preparation
  • Operation theatre support
  • Anaesthesia care
  • Surgical treatment
  • Post-operative monitoring
  • Pain management
  • Nursing care
  • Diet and recovery guidance
  • Parent counselling
  • Discharge instructions
  • Follow-up planning
  • Operation Theatre and Safety Support

Our operation theatres are equipped to support paediatric surgical procedures with trained teams and safety-focused processes.

Surgical care is supported by:

  • Paediatric surgeons
  • Anaesthetists
  • Operation theatre technicians
  • Specialty nurses
  • Trained support staff

The team follows safety and hygiene practices during routine as well as complex procedures.

Post-Operative Care and PICU Support

Post-operative care helps children recover safely after surgery.

Support may include:

  • Monitoring after surgery
  • Pain control
  • Wound care guidance
  • Infection prevention
  • Feeding and hydration support
  • Mobility and recovery guidance
  • Parent education
  • Discharge counselling
  • Follow-up care

Children who require closer monitoring may receive support from the Paediatrics and PICU teams before or after surgery.

Paediatric Emergency Surgical Services

Emergency services are available 24/7 for urgent and critical surgical situations in children.

Emergency support may be required for symptoms such as:

  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Suspected appendicitis
  • Sudden swelling or painful lump
  • Vomiting with severe pain
  • Injury requiring surgical evaluation
  • Sudden worsening of a known surgical condition
  • Any urgent condition advised by a paediatrician or emergency doctor

The team provides prompt assessment, triage, and appropriate care based on the child’s condition.

Coordinated Care with Other Specialties

Paediatric surgical care may require coordination with multiple teams depending on the child’s diagnosis and recovery needs.

Our Paediatric Surgery service works closely with:

  • Paediatrics
  • Paediatric Intensive Care Unit
  • Anaesthesia
  • Imaging and Diagnostics
  • Nursing teams
  • Emergency services
  • Specialty nurses and support staff
  • Other paediatric specialists where required

This helps ensure that the child’s surgical, medical, emotional, and recovery needs are considered together.
