Pediatric Surgery
Comprehensive Surgical Care for Children of all Ages
At Life Line Hospital, our dedicated team of pediatric surgeons specializes in providing compassionate care to young patients, ranging from premature and unborn babies to children and young adults up to the age of 19. Our expertise spans across a diverse spectrum of subspecialties within pediatric surgery.
Subspecialties of Paediatric Surgery
- Neonatal Surgery – In close collaboration with obstetricians and experts in fetal medicine, our pediatric surgeons offer invaluable antenatal counseling to parents. We guide them through the intricacies of specific conditions such as gastroschisis (a birth defect involving a hole in the abdominal wall) and congenital diaphragmatic hernia, ensuring comprehensive care from the moment of delivery to any necessary surgical interventions.
- Pediatric Urology – Among the urological disorders that affect children, hypospadias is a common concern that typically manifests at birth or in young individuals.
- Pediatric Oncology – Children facing cancer require specialized attention, as their conditions differ significantly from those seen in adults. Leukemia remains the most prevalent and challenging disease among children.
