Paediatric Surgery in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar 

Paediatric surgery is a super-speciality requiring an M.Ch. after general surgery training. Children differ from adults in airway, fluid balance, blood volume, drug dosing and pain response, and many of the conditions operated on — congenital malformations in particular — do not occur in adults at all. Dr. Ramdas holds that qualification and trained at B.J. Wadia Hospital for Children, Mumbai.

Newborns, including premature babies, where the condition requires it — some congenital problems must be corrected in the first days of life. The decision weighs the baby's weight, general condition and how urgent the problem is, and making that judgement safely is exactly what paediatric surgical training exists for.

No. A consultation is an assessment. Many childhood conditions — some hernias, hydroceles and undescended testes — resolve on their own or can safely be watched. If that is the case you will be told so, along with what to look out for and when to come back.

Laparoscopic or keyhole surgery is performed through a few millimetre-sized ports using a camera, instead of one larger incision. In suitable cases it means less pain, a much smaller scar and a faster return to school. It is not right for every condition, and an open approach is sometimes the safer choice — that judgement is part of the consultation.

Yes, and it is worth doing early. Prenatal consultation covers what the finding means, whether surgery is likely to be needed and when, and how and where delivery should be planned. Having the plan settled in advance is far better than arranging it after birth.

It measures how the bladder fills, stores and empties. It is used when a child has persistent daytime wetting, recurrent urinary infection or a suspected neurogenic bladder, and it turns guesswork into a specific diagnosis so treatment can be targeted.

Yes. Chronic constipation and soiling are often treated with repeated laxatives alone. The clinic first looks for an underlying cause — including surgical ones such as Hirschsprung disease or an anorectal anomaly — then sets a structured bowel programme with follow-up, rather than a one-off prescription.

Piercing with unsterile equipment or in the wrong position risks infection, embedded studs and keloid scarring. Done under sterile conditions with correct placement and clear aftercare, those risks largely disappear.
