Department of Paediatric Surgery

The Department of Pediatric Surgery at NIMS Hospital, recognized as the best pediatric hospital in Nagpur, specializes in performing surgical procedures on infants, children, and adolescents. We are dedicated to providing the highest level of care for young patients with various conditions that require surgical intervention.

One of the key areas of expertise in our department is the management of congenital malformations. These are structural abnormalities present at birth, and our experienced surgical specialists are skilled in addressing a wide range of congenital defects. Examples include conditions such as congenital heart defects, gastrointestinal anomalies, genitourinary malformations, and neural tube defects. We work closely with our patients and their families to develop personalized treatment plans that address the unique needs of each child.

Chest wall deformities are another focus of our department. These conditions, such as pectus excavatum (sunken chest) or pectus carinatum (protruding chest), can affect a child’s appearance and respiratory function. Our pediatric surgeons are well-versed in surgical techniques to correct chest wall deformities and restore normal chest shape and function, improving both the physical and psychological well-being of our young patients.

Childhood tumors require specialized care, and our department is equipped with the expertise to diagnose and treat pediatric cancers. Our team collaborates with pediatric oncologists to develop comprehensive treatment plans, which may include surgical removal of tumors, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. We are committed to providing the best possible outcomes while minimizing the impact of treatment on a child’s overall health and development.

Congenital defects like cleft palate and cleft lip are common conditions that affect the formation of the mouth and lip during fetal development. Our pediatric surgeons perform corrective surgeries to repair these defects, improving speech, feeding, and overall facial appearance. We also provide comprehensive care to address associated issues such as hearing loss, dental problems, and speech delays.

At our department, we take pride in the presence of a team of full-time in-house surgical specialists available round the clock. This ensures that our patients receive immediate attention and timely surgical interventions when required. Our team is supported by highly experienced pediatric anesthesiologists and pediatric intensivists who specialize in providing anesthesia and critical care specifically tailored to the needs of children.

We follow a multidisciplinary approach, collaborating closely with other pediatric subspecialists, such as pediatric cardiologists, gastroenterologists, urologists, and neurosurgeons. This collaborative effort ensures that our patients receive comprehensive and coordinated care, addressing all aspects of their health.

Our Hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and the latest surgical technologies to ensure the highest level of precision and safety during procedures. We prioritize the well-being and comfort of our young patients and strive to create a child-friendly environment to alleviate anxiety and promote a positive surgical experience.
