DIAGNOSTIC FACILITIES

X-Ray

An X-ray diagnoses traumatic injuries and sources of pain and locates a foreign body in children.

It is a non-invasive medical imaging exam that uses ion radiation to produce pictures of the internal parts.

Some common types of X-rays that the doctors recommend are:

Chest X-rays: They help diagnose and assess pneumonia, tumours, birth abnormalities, airway disease, and trauma to the lungs and look for foreign bodies.
Abdominal X-rays: They assess the abdominal region and help see gallstones, kidney stones, internal blockages, and perforation of the stomach or intestine.
Bone X-rays: These help diagnose fractures and dislocations. Doctors also use bone X-rays to assess infection, injury, abnormal bone growth, and bone cancer and to guide surgeries like spine repair/fusion.
Allergy Test

Allergies are common in children and may cause rashes, itching, vomiting, swelling and pain.

Recognising the allergen at the earliest is necessary to avoid complications later.

An allergy test helps identify allergens and associated symptoms in children. Doctors check for allergies using blood, skin and dietary tests.

Fluoroscopy

Pediatric fluoroscopy is a medical imaging diagnostic technique.

It is a continuous or pulsed X-ray that shows internal organs in motion.

It helps to monitor how the organs or body system functions in real-time.

Doctors also use fluoroscopy to guide treatments like implants or injections and in orthopaedic surgery.

Vascular Access in Children

Vascular access helps diagnose, monitor and provide treatment to children

Vascular access is of two types:

Venous (through a vein): Doctors use it for medication delivery, critical care for fluid, resuscitation, and anaesthesia.
Arterial (through an artery): It is helpful in critically ill patients, where doctors need to monitor their blood pressure and blood gas samples.

Doctors at the best child specialist hospital in Gurgaon insert vascular access devices (VADs) into the veins through peripheral or central vessels for administering medication, fluids, blood sampling, central-venous pressure readings, total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and blood transfusions.

Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure to examine the large intestine (colon) and rectum to diagnose irritated tissues, swelling, polyps or cancer.

Doctors perform colonoscopies using a thin, flexible tube called a colonoscope.

They insert it into the anus and advance into the rectum and colon.

Children get light general anaesthesia before the procedure to put them to sleep.

Paediatric Bronchoscopy and Airway Reconstruction

Paediatric bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure.

It involves examining the airways and lungs with the help of a bronchoscope.

A bronchoscope is a thin, flexible, bendable tube with a camera that helps view the inside of the respiratory tract.

Some common conditions in children that may require bronchoscopy include:

stridor- a congenital disorder,
vocal cord paralysis or subglottic stenosis,
haemoptysis or coughing of blood,
persistent cough, and
prolonged respiratory support in premature babies.

TREATMENTS AND PROCEDURES

Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion (FETO)

Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion (FETO) is a paediatric surgery. Doctors perform it to improve outcomes in babies with severe congenital diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH).

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) is when the diaphragm fails to close during prenatal development.

It causes abdomen organs (stomach, intestines and liver) to move into the chest, impacting the growth and development of the lungs.

Gastroschisis Repair

Gastroschisis Repair is a paediatric surgery procedure which corrects gastroschisis, a defect which causes an opening in the skin and muscles covering the abdominal wall.

If the gastroschisis opening is small, the doctors perform the surgery soon after the birth to put the organs back into the abdomen and close it.

For the large opening, the repair surgery occurs in stages.

Circumcision

Circumcision removes the penis's foreskin.

Circumcision procedures for newborn babies can occur ten days after birth in the hospital nursery. It is a religious ritual in many Islamic and Jewish families. Many people get it done for medical reasons too.

The circumcision procedure takes about 10 minutes.

It is the same for both older boys and adults. However, the complications and risks are high if done later in life.

Intramuscular Injections

Intramuscular injections help administer the medicines deep into the muscles to let them get absorbed fast in the bloodstream.

The procedure takes only 5 minutes.

Nebulisation

Doctors recommend it for children with chronic coughs and a few respiratory conditions.

The process involves administering the medicines directly into the lungs.

The paediatrician decides the quantity and frequency of the medicine.

Nebulisation uses a small machine that converts liquid medicine into a mist, and the patient wears a mask and inhales this misty medicine.

This process is effective and prevents respiratory problems from worsening.

Paediatric Genital Reconstructive Surgery

Paediatric Genital Reconstructive Surgery corrects genital deformities. It involves the reconstruction of urinary and genital anomalies in children to prevent complications later.

Genital reconstructive surgery is the only solution for treating hypospadias. It is a congenital disorder of sex development in male babies wherein the penis looks and functions abnormally.

Surgery for Solid Tumours in Children

Solid tumours do not contain any cysts or liquid areas. They may be benign or malignant. Paediatric doctors use a mix of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy to treat solid tumours.

Some solid tumours found in children include:

Wilms tumour (a common renal malignancy)
Hepatoblastoma ( liver tumour)
A paediatric gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST)
Thyroid cancer
Paediatric germ cell tumours
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS)
bone and lung tumours
Paediatric Robotic Assisted Urological Reconstruction

Urological concerns in children involve the urinary bladder, urethra and other parts of the urinary system.

Trained paediatric urologists and surgeons address various urological conditions in children by performing robot-assisted surgery.

These include:

Upper Ureteral Reconstruction such as Pyeloplasty (surgical reconstruction of the renal pelvis to drain and decompress the kidney).
Ureteropelvic Junction Polypectomy (impaired urine flow from the pelvis into the ureter, causing dilation of the collecting system and potential renal damage).
Ureterocalicostomy, and high uretero-ureterostomy (end-to-end connection of the segments of the same ureter)mid-ureteral reconstruction and lower ureteral reconstruction (ureteral reimplantation and lower ureter-ureterostomy).
Foreign Body Removal

Children have this tendency to swallow and inhale foreign objects knowingly or unknowingly.

A foreign body gets inside the body through the ear, eyes, nose, legs, foot, stomach, breathing tract, skin and more.

It could be hazardous to the respiratory and digestive systems.

The first action is intervention and surgery to remove the foreign object from the body.
