Paediatric Surgery
Abdominal, hernia and gastro-intestinal surgery for infants and children. Each condition has its own page — what it is, the symptoms, how it is diagnosed, whether surgery is needed and what to expect.
Neonatal Surgery
Surgery for newborn babies, including congenital conditions found at or before birth. Each condition has its own page — what it is, the symptoms, how it is diagnosed, whether surgery is needed and what to expect.
Why Families Choose Pratheep Nursing Home
Every line below is something the hospital actually has, on site, at Palliyadi.
A Centre for Keyhole Surgery and Every Scope
“Centre for All Scopies” simply means this: if your child or you need to be looked at from the inside — abdomen, stomach, bowel, bladder or airway — it can be done here, in one hospital, without being sent elsewhere for each test.
Whether a keyhole approach suits a particular child or adult depends on the condition and on evaluation by the treating surgeon.

Nearly everything treated here has a definite repair.
A hernia, a hypospadias, a testis that has not come down, a blocked kidney, a bowel that will not work — each has an operation that fixes it and a right age for doing it. Bring the child and whatever reports you already have.
