Safe, expert surgery for newborns, children and teenagers by Dr. Pritesh Maheshwari, AIIMS-trained Paediatric Surgeon in Delhi.
From complex newborn surgery to routine day care operations, all under one specialist.
Surgery in the first days or weeks of life for conditions such as oesophageal atresia, diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal atresia, anorectal malformation, Hirschsprung’s disease and malrotation, planned with the neonatal team.
Inguinal hernia and hydrocele are among the most common operations in children, mostly done as day care, often by keyhole surgery, with your child home the same day.
Appendicitis, intussusception, pyloric stenosis, abdominal cysts and bowel conditions. Many are emergencies, and quick, accurate diagnosis makes treatment simpler and safer for your child.
Biliary atresia and choledochal cyst affect the flow of bile from the liver. Early diagnosis and surgery protect the liver, with long-term follow-up as your child grows.
Care for kidney, bladder and genital conditions such as hypospadias, undescended testis, phimosis, hydronephrosis, vesicoureteric reflux and posterior urethral valves.
Lung cysts and CCAM, empyema needing decortication, diaphragmatic hernia, chest masses and oesophageal problems, treated by thoracoscopic (VATS) keyhole surgery where possible.
Surgical removal of childhood tumours such as Wilms tumour and neuroblastoma, planned together with paediatric oncologists for the best possible outcome for your child.
Tongue tie release, cyst and sinus removal, paronychia, cut repair, and extra or joined fingers (polydactyly and syndactyly). Most children go home within a few hours.
When your child needs an operation, you want more than a good surgeon. You want someone who understands how a child’s body works, how a child feels, and how worried you are as a parent. Paediatric surgery is a separate specialty for exactly this reason. Children’s organs are smaller and still growing, many of their surgical problems are present from birth, and their anaesthesia, pain relief and recovery all need special care.
Dr. Pritesh Maheshwari is a pediatric surgeon in Delhi who specialises in surgery for babies, children and teenagers. He completed his MCh in Paediatric Surgery at AIIMS, New Delhi, as batch topper, after an MS in General Surgery with a gold medal. Earlier in his career he served as Senior Resident in Paediatric Surgery at AIIMS and at Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya, two of Delhi’s leading centres for children’s surgery.
Over more than 15 years he has performed over 5,000 major surgeries, including more than 1,000 laparoscopic procedures. Today he is Head of Paediatric Surgery at Kailash Deepak Hospital and Yashoda Hospital, Kaushambi, and Director and Chief of Paediatric Surgery at Maheshwari Multispeciality Clinic in Delhi.
From a newborn who needs life-saving surgery in the first days of life to a teenager with appendicitis, every child receives the same careful approach: a clear diagnosis, honest advice, and the least invasive operation that will give the best result.
Wherever it is safe, Dr. Pritesh uses laparoscopic (keyhole) and thoracoscopic surgery. Instead of one large cut, the operation is done through two or three tiny openings using a camera and fine instruments. For children this means less pain, smaller scars, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to school and play.
Many simpler operations, such as hernia repair and tongue tie release, are done as day care, so your child sleeps in their own bed the same night.
