Pediatric gastrointestinal surgery addresses structural and developmental anomalies of the digestive tract in children. Surgical intervention is often required to restore normal digestive flow and prevent serious nutritional or systemic complications.
These conditions arise from errors during early fetal development or acute blockages:
Common surgical signs to watch for:
Emergency untwisting of the bowel, widening the mesenteric base, and dividing bands to relieve volvulus risk.
Resection of blocked or duplicated segments of the intestine and suturing healthy ends to restore path continuity.
Wrapping the top of the stomach around the esophagus (Nissen fundoplication) to treat severe, complicated acid reflux.
Diagnosing obstructions using contrast X-rays (upper GI series) or abdominal ultrasound.
Repairing the blockage laparoscopically or through a small incision, ensuring complete restoration of bowel continuity.
Intravenous nutrition (TPN) is provided until the bowel recovers, followed by a gradual step-by-step introduction of milk feeds.
"Our newborn had intestinal malrotation and volvulus. Dr. Sujit's emergency Ladd's procedure saved our baby's life. We cannot thank him enough."
"Laparoscopic surgery for our daughter's abdominal cyst was done with tiny keyholes. Her recovery was swift, and she was back to school in a week."
"Dr. Chowdhary is a pioneer in pediatric GI reconstruction. His calm confidence and detailed explanations gave us so much peace of mind."
"The precision in Dr. Chowdhary's surgery is incredible. His confidence gave us immense peace of mind during a very stressful time."
"We traveled from another city just for Dr. Chowdhary. His approach is very scientific and methodical yet very caring."
Congenital anomalies of the gut require complex reconstructive surgery to restore normal digestion and support infant growth.
Pediatric GI surgery manages congenital anomalies and acquired diseases of the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, and biliary system.
Surgery (Nissen Fundoplication) is performed to wrap the top of the stomach around the lower esophagus, preventing reflux when medical therapy fails.
They are diagnosed via X-rays, contrast studies, and clinical symptoms like green (bilious) vomiting and abdominal distension.
It is a minimally invasive approach using keyhole incisions to perform procedures like fundoplication, splenectomy, and bowel resections.
Recovery includes specialized IV nutrition (TPN) if needed, pain management, and a gradual return to oral feeding as the bowel heals.
It is a narrowing of the stomach outlet in infants, causing projectile vomiting, cured by a simple surgical procedure (pyloromyotomy).
Most children recover completely and grow normally as the intestine adapts remarkably well after reconstruction.
