Paediatric surgery is a sub speciality of surgery which involves the treatment and management of diseases occurring throughout infancy and childhood. Some of the conditions that paediatric surgeons usually treat are congenital anomalies, solid tumours, cancers, infectious conditions, trauma, and injuries. Being the first Paediatric Surgeon of the state Goa, I have established this branch in the state of Goa from scratch and established certain standard of surgical care of children with laudable academic work ( with original surgeries innovated by me) comparable with the rest of the Paediatric Surgeons in India and abroad, initially with no facilities in the early nineties to the present advanced care. Our best paediatric surgery services in Goa have stood the test of time and with the help of the dedicated team of the anaesthesiologist, neonatologist, paediatricians and motivated nursing staff we have carried over 50,000 operations in children over the past 30 years. We provide surgical expertise children requiring paediatric airway surgery, paediatric reconstructive urology, paediatric minimal access surgery, paediatric hepatobiliary, and pancreatic surgery. If your child is suffering from a disease or illness that requires surgery, you can plan your visit to us.
