The kidneys play a vital role in filtering blood and producing urine, which normally flows one way — from the kidneys through the ureters into the bladder. In some children, urine flows backward from the bladder into one or both ureters and kidneys. This condition is known as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). It is relatively common in infants and young children and affects nearly 10% of the pediatric population. If left untreated, VUR can lead to recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney scarring, impaired renal function, and high blood pressure later in life. Early evaluation and timely Vesicoureteral Reflux Surgery Child in Delhi can help protect a child’s kidneys and long-term health. Why Does Vesicoureteral Reflux Occur? Normally, a valve mechanism at the point where the ureter joins the bladder prevents urine from flowing backward. In primary VUR, this valve is underdeveloped or defective, allowing urine to reflux into the ureters. This condition may affect one or both kidney...

Hirschsprung’s disease is a congenital disorder that primarily affects the large intestine and, in some cases, a portion of the small intestine. The condition occurs due to the absence of specialized nerve cells, known as ganglion cells, in a segment of the bowel. These nerve cells are essential for coordinating peristalsis — the wave-like muscle contractions that move stool through the intestine. Without them, the affected bowel segment cannot relax, leading to functional blockage and severe constipation. Early diagnosis and timely Hirschsprung Disease Treatment in India are crucial to prevent complications such as bowel enlargement, infection, and impaired growth. Why Hirschsprung’s Disease Develops: During fetal development, nerve cells migrate along the intestinal tract from the mouth to the anus. In children with Hirschsprung’s disease, this migration stops prematurely, leaving part of the intestine without nerve supply. As a result, stool cannot pass through normally, causing ac...

Pelvi Ureteric Junction Obstruction (PUJO) is a condition in which there is narrowing or blockage at the junction where the kidney pelvis meets the ureter. This obstruction interferes with the normal flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder. As urine accumulates, it causes kidney swelling, a condition known as hydronephrosis. If left untreated, prolonged back pressure can impair kidney function and may eventually result in permanent kidney damage or a non-functioning kidney. Early identification and timely Pelvi Ureteric Junction Obstruction Treatment Delhi play a vital role in preserving long-term renal health, especially in children. How Common Is PUJ Obstruction? PUJO is one of the most frequent congenital urinary tract conditions. It is present in approximately 1 in every 1,500 children and is the leading cause of hydronephrosis detected during prenatal ultrasound scans. Many cases are identified before birth, allowing early postnatal monitoring and intervention when required....

A choledochal cyst is a rare congenital condition in which a child is born with abnormal dilatation or cystic swelling of the bile duct. The bile duct plays a crucial role in transporting bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine, aiding digestion. When this drainage pathway is abnormal or obstructed, bile flow becomes impaired, leading to pain, jaundice, infections, and digestive issues. Early diagnosis and timely Choledochal Cyst in Children Treatment in Delhi are essential to prevent long-term liver damage and cancer risk in adulthood. Why Choledochal Cyst Occurs: Medical experts believe choledochal cysts develop due to an abnormal junction between the bile duct and pancreatic duct. Normally, these ducts join just before entering the intestine. When this junction is faulty, pancreatic enzymes may reflux into the bile duct, causing inflammation, weakening of the duct wall, and cyst formation. Obstruction at the lower end of the bile duct can also contribute to this ...
