We have one of the most advanced and specialized Paediatric Departments in the world.  At Tagore Hospital, Pediatric Department is divided into

General Paediatric Surgery
This includes problems such as hernias, uro-genital lesions, lumps and bumps, head and neck lesions, haemangioma, lymphangioma, cystic hygroma and perianal conditions.

Neonatal Surgery
Expectant mothers with babies with congenital anomalies are seen together with the obstetrician doing the ultrasound assessments and their management planned. Gastro-intestinal, abdominal wall defects, diaphragmati hernias, lungs cystic and malformations, teratomas (sacroccygeal, mediastinal, pharyngeal and cervical) and renal anomalies are among conditions diagnosed and managed.

Thoracic Surgery
All extra cardiac thoracic lesions in the neonates are followed up from antenatal diagnosis to post-natal surgery by the division. The commonest of the conditions managed are lung cyst, cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lungs, pulmonary sequestration and congenital lobar emphysema. Intra thoracic tumours, lung bulae with recurrent pneumothorax, esophageal atresia and fistula are also dealt with.

Hepato-biliary
Biliary atresia and choledochal cyst are common hepato-biliary conditions seen in the division. Liver tumours, though uncommon, are managed together with Paediatric oncologist.

Urology
Paediatric urology makes up about 30% of the work of the division. Nephrectomies, nephro-ureterectomies and partial nephrectomies are carried out. Pyeloplasties, hypospadias repair, undescended testis, neurogenic bladder and vesico-ureteric reflux are common urologic conditions seen.
