Pediatric Gastrointestinal Surgery in Bangalore
Advanced Surgical Care for Digestive Tract Conditions in Children
Pediatric gastrointestinal (GI) surgery involves the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting a child’s digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, and rectum. These conditions can be present from birth or develop during childhood and often require specialized surgical expertise tailored to a child’s growing body.
Comprehensive GI surgical care is led by Dr. Antony Robert Charles, a senior pediatric surgeon with extensive experience in managing both routine and complex gastrointestinal conditions in children.
Common Gastrointestinal Conditions Treated
Our pediatric GI surgery services address a wide range of conditions, including:
Intestinal obstruction
Hirschsprung’s disease
Intestinal atresia
Malrotation of the intestine
Meckel’s diverticulum
Anorectal malformations
Appendicitis and abdominal infections
Gastrointestinal perforations and emergencies
Each child is carefully evaluated to determine the most appropriate and safest surgical approach.
Child-Centered Surgical Approach
Gastrointestinal surgery in children requires precision, gentle handling, and careful planning. Our approach focuses on minimizing pain, reducing hospital stay, and supporting faster recovery. Whenever appropriate, minimally invasive techniques are used to achieve better outcomes with smaller incisions and less scarring.
Parents are kept fully informed at every stage, from diagnosis and treatment planning to post-operative care and follow-up.
Neonatal and Emergency GI Surgery
Many gastrointestinal conditions are diagnosed in newborns or present as emergencies requiring immediate intervention. Dr. Antony Robert Charles has extensive experience in neonatal GI surgery and emergency abdominal procedures, ensuring timely and life-saving care for infants and children.
Recovery and Long-Term Care
Children generally recover faster than adults after GI surgery. Post-operative care includes pain management, nutritional support, and regular follow-up to monitor healing and growth. Families receive clear guidance on diet, activity, and signs to watch for during recovery.

Seek medical advice if your child has:
Persistent vomiting or abdominal pain
Abdominal distension
Difficulty passing stools
Poor feeding or failure to thrive
Blood in stools
