The Paediatric Neurology team at Bedi Hospital is composed of highly skilled and experienced neurologists who provide compassionate, comprehensive neurology treatment for children and adolescents with diseases of the nervous system. The team's scope is vast and covers both simple nervous issues and more complex neurological disorders such as those stemming from birth defects and genetic disorders.
With allied medical specialists on hand and modern medical infrastructure, Bedi Hospital provides its patients with best possible treatment for neurological disorders.
- Paediatric neurologists make a diagnosis by asking about your child’s symptoms and medical history. Generally, the following tests may be ordered:
- EEG Or Electroencephalogram: The EEG test is used to identify problems related to the electrical activity in the brain. It can also help detect seizures and make sure that the electrical activity in your child’s brain is normal according to their age.
- MRI or CT scan: Theses are imaging tests that take pictures of the brain and spine. With MRI and CT scans, it is easier to look for signs of brain tumour, multiple sclerosis, stroke, infection, certain genetic conditions, and more.
- Lumbar puncture or spinal tap: In this test, the doctor inserts a small needle in the lower back to take a sample of the spinal fluid that surrounds your brain and spinal cord. This process helps to identify signs of infection or inflammation.
- Blood tests: Your doctor may order blood tests for your child to check for electrolyte changes or signs of infection. More complicated testing procedures such as genetic tests may also be done for specific disorders.
Other techniques that can be used for the diagnosis of underlying neurologic conditions are:Paediatric neurologists diagnose and treat children with diseases and conditions that affect the nervous system. They also deal with patients who have head injuries, seizures, or muscle weakness. After a consultation, your neurologist will develop a treatment plan to manage and care for children with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), speech delays, coordination issues, fine and gross motor delays, etc. They can also treat children who have learning disabilities.
During your first visit, a paediatric neurologist will examine your child and ask you questions regarding their behaviour. Then they will request you to let your child participate in specific physical and neurological examinations to rule out or diagnose the conditions further. The neurological exams are done to measure muscle strength, reflexes, sensation, and coordination. As the nervous system is very complex, further tests might also be suggested.
The occurrence of seizures in children is not uncommon. It is caused whenever there’s an abnormally excessive neuronal activity in the brain. Most of the seizures are either provoked by fever or are only a one-time event, such as from a fall and are not necessarily a cause of concern. However, when the seizures in a child are recurrent and without any identifiable precipitating factors, consulting a paediatric neurologist is of utmost importance.
It is difficult to diagnose the autism and other autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) as the symptoms and degree of impairment are different for every child. The symptoms can range from being severe to mild, but the major ones are social withdrawal, rigid and repetitive behaviour, and verbal or nonverbal communication problems. In severe cases, the child may not be able to learn to speak or make eye contact. However, many autistic children live normal lives.
Asperger’s Syndrome or Autism Spectrum Disorder affects a child’s ability to develop language skills more or less on time. Although a delay in speech development can be seen in children with AS, most of them learn to communicate by age three. Some of the common symptoms include impaired verbal and nonverbal communication, strict adherence to non-functional routines, stereotyped repetitive motor mannerisms, lack of social and emotional reciprocity, etc.

We are committed to providing family-centered care. The best outcome for your child will be achieved by families and healthcare professionals working together as partners.
Around 8 out of 1000 babies are born with disorders of heart, lungs and are ailing at birth. They require special care and intervention at very early stage. The paediatric surgeons are skilled in rendering quality care and treating various disorders such as Cleft lip, Cleft palate, Paediatric Trauma Surgery and some complex surgeries of Gastrointestinal conditions, Thoracic, Paediatric Urology, Paediatric Laparoscopy, Hypospadias, Spinal Dysraphism, Hydrocephalus including some tumours of the head, chest, neck, pelvis and abdomen. The team works closely with other specialties to provide a better and healthy life to the little ones.
Backed by a panel of highly experienced consultants, the Department of Paediatric Surgery provides world-class, family-centred services for the diagnosis and treatment of congenital malformation, childhood illness and injury. Surgeries are carried out by paediatric surgeons along with other surgeons who specialise in paediatric cases such as Orthopaedic, General, ENT, Urology, Oral and ophthalmological Surgery, etc.
These surgeries are being performed with an optimal blend of latest technology and a team of highly experienced medical professionals.
Child is not simply a miniature adult. Hence surgery in paediatric age group is a specialised field involving correction of defects that a child is born with, so as to restore the normal anatomical & physiological function. It is best accomplished with trained paediatric surgeons, paediatric anaesthetist and support staff trained for giving special care.
The thought of a child going through surgery is a matter of concern for every parent. However, it is a fact that most of children go through surgery better than adults.
Because, some problems that babies are born with will not allow them to live if not tackled immediately. For e.g.: absent anus, incomplete development of intestine, etc. Some problems can even make them prone to infections that are life-threatening, while others will interfere with the normal development of the child. Some babies do not look normal. In these cases, performing a surgery will not only make them look better but also help them face the world with greater confidence.
Because, some problems that babies are born with may show up later when children are growing up. Some problems noticed at birth need to be treated immediately – these can be treated after children are a little older. There may be infections or other events that need surgical treatments. At times, children have diseases similar to adults, however, their diagnostic criteria and their management may be different from adults, like in cases of appendicitis and hernia.
Irrespective of the reason for surgery, gentleness and special care are always needed in the surgical treatment of children.
Definitely. Approx 3-4% newborn babies have congenital malformations. Antenatal screening for detection of anomalies in the unborn child is being done at the AFCC (Advance Fetal Care Centre). Congenital malformations can be anatomic, metabolic or genetic abnormalities. AFCC provides comprehensive care, in the form of a multidisciplinary approach to counsel the parents adequately and accurately, so that an appropriate decision can made during pregnancy. Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital being the tertiary care centre (with full time consultants) is geared to handle the toughest challenge with its impeccable patient care coupled with the state of the art infrastructure.
Phimosis is a common pediatric urological disorder. Existing scientific evidence demonstrates potential medical benefits of newborn male circumcision; however, the present data are not sufficient to recommend routine neonatal circumcision. In the initial years of a childs life, squamous epithelium has no separation between the glans and the foreskin. As a result of this incomplete separation, the prepuce or foreskin may not be fully retractable until several years after birth. This is physiological phimosis and needs no treatment. However there may be recurrent balanoposthitis resulting fibrosis with resultant narrowing of the prepuce and dysuria, which may require surgical correction.
We now have preputioplasty as an alternative surgical procedure to circumcision. Preputioplasty helps release of the narrowed preputial opening without sacrificing the prepuce itself.
Several clinical and histologic findings suggest the benefit of early therapy in improving fertility. In cryptorchid testes, the number of spermatogonia per tubule and the seminiferous diameter is higher in boys under the age of one year. Hence the present recommended age for surgery is between 8 mths to one year of age. However the boys who have a symptomatic hernia associated with a testicular descend are advised surgery at the earliest to avoid the potential risk of torsion or irreduciblity.
Laparoscopy is safe in children provided it is performed by specially trained surgeons, nursing staff with well equipped infrastructure. Infact VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) is now commonly used in the treatment of early thoracic empyema (post pneumonia chest infection) to release the fibrinous peel encasing the lung parenchyma.
In today’s world, a lot of children present to us with dietary constipation. Proper diet and healthy eating habits is the answer to most of the cases. However, one needs to rule out the possibility of Hirschsprung’s disease in a case of chronic constipation especially if the symptoms are present since birth. Traditional treatment options for a child included a multi-stage approach wherein the child is subjected to three surgeries and is left with a scarred abdomen.
However we now have the option of endoanal pullthrough (scarless surgery). Endoanal pullthrough entails removal of the diseased (aganglionic) colon entirely by the anal route and thus the childs abdomen remains untouched.
Surgery in children is fairly safe when:
Even keyhole surgery in small children is safe with the proper precautions. In general, the safety of surgery in children can be compared to the safety level when driving on a highway. If the driver is experienced, and the vehicle is well maintained, then the chances of an accident are minimal.
Your doctor will have advised surgery in view of the symptoms or the potential complications which your child is likely to suffer from. Many of these operations may be necessary to help your child grow normally.
Different conditions have a different recommended age for surgery. Certain conditions like a hernia, may look minor, but can lead to complications. It is better to perform surgery as early as possible in such cases. Other problems may not have any harmful effects in the near future. Such operations can be planned after the child has grown a bit, or at the convenience of the family members.
Every effort is made to minimise the physiological trauma of surgery for the child and also reduce post operative pain. Most operations will require the child to be asleep during surgery, so sedation or general anaesthesia will be needed. For most routine surgeries, the child will be free from pain a day or two after the operation.
The thought of a child going through surgery is a matter of concern for every parent. However, it is a fact that most of children go through surgery better than adults.
Hypospadias as a clinical entity and as a surgical problem has beguiled the surgeons and the patients since time immemorial. Traditionally Hypospadias surgery has had poor success rates and over the years it has been accepted that the treatment of Hypospadias should be done by a Surgeon Specializing in Hypospadias Surgery, namely a Hypospadiologist. Even now the surgery for Hypospadias in India involves a minimum of 7-10 days of Hospital stay even in the best of centres.
At Kokilaben under the able hands of Dr. Gursev Sandlas we have developed a new technique of Catheterless Hypospadias surgery. The technique is unique in that no stent or catheter is placed in the Patient after surgery which ensures painless faster recovery. Typically a hypospadias patient goes home the same day or the next day. It has been possible because of changes in the technique of traditional hypospadias repair thus optimizing the surgical repair and ensuring successful repairs everytime. Our complication rate of 1% is amongst the lowest in the World.
So if your child has been advised a Hypospadias Surgery, do drop in for a Second opinion. Our specialized Hypospadias Clinic will ensure a wonderful experience and a faster uncomplicated recovery for your child.

Though uncommon in the past, kidney and bladder stones in children have shown an exponential increase in incidence in the past decade. This could be attributed to changing life styles as well as dietary patterns to a large extent. Traditionally due to lack of equipment and expertise most of the kids were offered an open surgical procedure for the removal of these stones.
At the Dept of Paediatric Urology at Kokilaben Ambani Hospital under the able guidance of Dr. Gursev Sandlas we offer state of the Art solutions for Stones in the form of Paediatric Endo-Urology.
Endo-Urology basically involves use of sophisticated telescopes that are introduced through the natural orifices of the urinary tract for removal of stones. This technique ensures no external cuts on the body which translates to faster and pain free recovery for the child. Typically it is a day care procedure with a majority of children going home the same day having been relieved of their stone problem in the best possible way.
So if your child has a kidney or a bladder stone and has been advised surgery, do visit the Dept of Paediatric Urology at Kokilaben Ambani Hospital for cutting edge non surgical solution.

Our department is committed to providing the best oral health care to improve your child’s overall health. The Department of Dentistry is staffed by board-certified and board-eligible pediatric dentists to help provide the most up-to-date and contemporary care for your child.
When your child needs a hospital, Everything Matters !
Our pediatric dentists and specialists provide comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children, including those with special health care needs.
We treat all children up to 18 years of age and provide a full range of oral health care, including examinations, cleanings, fillings, crowns and extractions. We also offer dental treatment in the operating room, as well as for children who need oral sedation. For procedures outside of our scope of practice, we help to coordinate referrals to other services and specialties.
Mouth is considered a mirror of the body. Dental health is an intrinsic and essential part of overall health.
It is commonly known that maternal oral health has an effect on the developing fetus. Hence, we focus on providing pre-natal, natal and antenatal oral and dental care for expecting mothers.
Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease. Left untreated, tooth decay can destroy the child’s teeth, and have a lasting effect on a child’s overall general health. It is advised to establish a Dental home for the child within first year of life. This enables the establishment of an appropriate preventive program and instills a positive dental attitude in the child and drastically reduces the chances of development of dental decay and/or gum diseases.
We aim to provide all aspects of high-quality specialist dental care to the entire family in an environment marked by convenience, technology and a friendly, cheerful and holistic manner.
In order to achieve this, we plan to focus on:
You should take your child to the pediatric dentist as soon as the first tooth erupts in their mouth, or right around the time your child turns one. Book an appointment with an expert at Bedi Hospital for pediatric consultation.
It is mandatory for a child to see a pediatric dentist till the age of 14, because by this time, all of their permanent teeth have grown out. Beyond this, it is the choice of the child and his/her parents. However, it is recommended that a child should visit a pediatric dentist till the age of 16.
For children, brushing should start with the eruption of the first tooth. However, expert kids dentist advice to make sure that the amount of toothpaste should be very small, almost equivalent to a grain of rice.
It is extremely important to maintain oral hygiene and keep the mouth clean & clear of germs, irrespective of the age. Mothers can clean the mouth, both upper and lower jaw, of their children with the help of a soft cloth
Most babies have a white coating on their tongue in the initial few weeks, which is completely normal. There is nothing wrong with their oral hygiene.
As milk teeth erupt and fall, people often think that they do not matter in the overall part of oral hygiene. However, milk teeth play some really important roles, like:
Babies are born with all their teeth - you can't see them because they are hidden in the gums. Baby teeth start to break through the gums around 6 months but it is important to start good oral care for infants even before the first tooth comes in. From healthy gums come healthy teeth.

Your Child’s Therapy SessionsIndividual speech-language therapy sessions are usually 30 minutes, and most children come to us once or twice a week. Our play-based therapy is one-to-one and takes place in a private office. Parents are welcome to attend the initial sessions, but we try to transition the child to sessions without the parents so the child isn’t distracted during therapy. We take an interdisciplinary approach with therapy – an audiologist and occupational and physical therapists are all located on the first floor.
To maintain your child’s progress, our therapists will provide exercises and language-stimulating activities that your child can do at home each day. At the end of each therapy session, we’ll discuss with you what home-based therapy you should focus on during the upcoming week.

Most of the seizures are either provoked by fever or are only a one-time event, such as from a fall and are not necessarily a cause of concern. However, when the seizures in a child are recurrent and without any identifiable precipitating factors, consulting a paediatric neurologist is of utmost importance.
It is difficult to diagnose the autism and other autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) as the symptoms and degree of impairment are different for every child. The symptoms can range from being severe to mild, but the major ones are social withdrawal, rigid and repetitive behaviour, and verbal or nonverbal communication problems. In severe cases, the child may not be able to learn to speak or make eye contact. However, many autistic children live normal lives.
Asperger’s Syndrome or Autism Spectrum Disorder affects a child’s ability to develop language skills more or less on time. Although a delay in speech development can be seen in children with AS, most of them learn to communicate by age three. Some of the common symptoms include impaired verbal and nonverbal communication, strict adherence to non-functional routines, stereotyped repetitive motor mannerisms, lack of social and emotional reciprocity, etc.

We are committed to providing family-centered care. The best outcome for your child will be achieved by families and healthcare professionals working together as partners.
Around 8 out of 1000 babies are born with disorders of heart, lungs and are ailing at birth. They require special care and intervention at very early stage. The paediatric surgeons are skilled in rendering quality care and treating various disorders such as Cleft lip, Cleft palate, Paediatric Trauma Surgery and some complex surgeries of Gastrointestinal conditions, Thoracic, Paediatric Urology, Paediatric Laparoscopy, Hypospadias, Spinal Dysraphism, Hydrocephalus including some tumours of the head, chest, neck, pelvis and abdomen. The team works closely with other specialties to provide a better and healthy life to the little ones.
Backed by a panel of highly experienced consultants, the Department of Paediatric Surgery provides world-class, family-centred services for the diagnosis and treatment of congenital malformation, childhood illness and injury. Surgeries are carried out by paediatric surgeons along with other surgeons who specialise in paediatric cases such as Orthopaedic, General, ENT, Urology, Oral and ophthalmological Surgery, etc.
These surgeries are being performed with an optimal blend of latest technology and a team of highly experienced medical professionals.
Child is not simply a miniature adult. Hence surgery in paediatric age group is a specialised field involving correction of defects that a child is born with, so as to restore the normal anatomical & physiological function. It is best accomplished with trained paediatric surgeons, paediatric anaesthetist and support staff trained for giving special care.
The thought of a child going through surgery is a matter of concern for every parent. However, it is a fact that most of children go through surgery better than adults.
Because, some problems that babies are born with will not allow them to live if not tackled immediately. For e.g.: absent anus, incomplete development of intestine, etc. Some problems can even make them prone to infections that are life-threatening, while others will interfere with the normal development of the child. Some babies do not look normal. In these cases, performing a surgery will not only make them look better but also help them face the world with greater confidence.
Because, some problems that babies are born with may show up later when children are growing up. Some problems noticed at birth need to be treated immediately – these can be treated after children are a little older. There may be infections or other events that need surgical treatments. At times, children have diseases similar to adults, however, their diagnostic criteria and their management may be different from adults, like in cases of appendicitis and hernia.
Irrespective of the reason for surgery, gentleness and special care are always needed in the surgical treatment of children.
Definitely. Approx 3-4% newborn babies have congenital malformations. Antenatal screening for detection of anomalies in the unborn child is being done at the AFCC (Advance Fetal Care Centre). Congenital malformations can be anatomic, metabolic or genetic abnormalities. AFCC provides comprehensive care, in the form of a multidisciplinary approach to counsel the parents adequately and accurately, so that an appropriate decision can made during pregnancy. Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital being the tertiary care centre (with full time consultants) is geared to handle the toughest challenge with its impeccable patient care coupled with the state of the art infrastructure.
Phimosis is a common pediatric urological disorder. Existing scientific evidence demonstrates potential medical benefits of newborn male circumcision; however, the present data are not sufficient to recommend routine neonatal circumcision. In the initial years of a childs life, squamous epithelium has no separation between the glans and the foreskin. As a result of this incomplete separation, the prepuce or foreskin may not be fully retractable until several years after birth. This is physiological phimosis and needs no treatment. However there may be recurrent balanoposthitis resulting fibrosis with resultant narrowing of the prepuce and dysuria, which may require surgical correction.
We now have preputioplasty as an alternative surgical procedure to circumcision. Preputioplasty helps release of the narrowed preputial opening without sacrificing the prepuce itself.
Several clinical and histologic findings suggest the benefit of early therapy in improving fertility. In cryptorchid testes, the number of spermatogonia per tubule and the seminiferous diameter is higher in boys under the age of one year. Hence the present recommended age for surgery is between 8 mths to one year of age. However the boys who have a symptomatic hernia associated with a testicular descend are advised surgery at the earliest to avoid the potential risk of torsion or irreduciblity.
Laparoscopy is safe in children provided it is performed by specially trained surgeons, nursing staff with well equipped infrastructure. Infact VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) is now commonly used in the treatment of early thoracic empyema (post pneumonia chest infection) to release the fibrinous peel encasing the lung parenchyma.
In today’s world, a lot of children present to us with dietary constipation. Proper diet and healthy eating habits is the answer to most of the cases. However, one needs to rule out the possibility of Hirschsprung’s disease in a case of chronic constipation especially if the symptoms are present since birth. Traditional treatment options for a child included a multi-stage approach wherein the child is subjected to three surgeries and is left with a scarred abdomen.
However we now have the option of endoanal pullthrough (scarless surgery). Endoanal pullthrough entails removal of the diseased (aganglionic) colon entirely by the anal route and thus the childs abdomen remains untouched.
Surgery in children is fairly safe when:
Even keyhole surgery in small children is safe with the proper precautions. In general, the safety of surgery in children can be compared to the safety level when driving on a highway. If the driver is experienced, and the vehicle is well maintained, then the chances of an accident are minimal.
Your doctor will have advised surgery in view of the symptoms or the potential complications which your child is likely to suffer from. Many of these operations may be necessary to help your child grow normally.
Different conditions have a different recommended age for surgery. Certain conditions like a hernia, may look minor, but can lead to complications. It is better to perform surgery as early as possible in such cases. Other problems may not have any harmful effects in the near future. Such operations can be planned after the child has grown a bit, or at the convenience of the family members.
Every effort is made to minimise the physiological trauma of surgery for the child and also reduce post operative pain. Most operations will require the child to be asleep during surgery, so sedation or general anaesthesia will be needed. For most routine surgeries, the child will be free from pain a day or two after the operation.
The thought of a child going through surgery is a matter of concern for every parent. However, it is a fact that most of children go through surgery better than adults.
Hypospadias as a clinical entity and as a surgical problem has beguiled the surgeons and the patients since time immemorial.

Though uncommon in the past, kidney and bladder stones in children have shown an exponential increase in incidence in the past decade. This could be attributed to changing life styles as well as dietary patterns to a large extent. Traditionally due to lack of equipment and expertise most of the kids were offered an open surgical procedure for the removal of these stones.
At the Dept of Paediatric Urology at Kokilaben Ambani Hospital under the able guidance of Dr. Gursev Sandlas we offer state of the Art solutions for Stones in the form of Paediatric Endo-Urology.
Endo-Urology basically involves use of sophisticated telescopes that are introduced through the natural orifices of the urinary tract for removal of stones. This technique ensures no external cuts on the body which translates to faster and pain free recovery for the child. Typically it is a day care procedure with a majority of children going home the same day having been relieved of their stone problem in the best possible way.
So if your child has a kidney or a bladder stone and has been advised surgery, do visit the Dept of Paediatric Urology at Kokilaben Ambani Hospital for cutting edge non surgical solution.

Book AppointmentOur department is committed to providing the best oral health care to improve your child’s overall health. The Department of Dentistry is staffed by board-certified and board-eligible pediatric dentists to help provide the most up-to-date and contemporary care for your child.
When your child needs a hospital, Everything Matters !
Our pediatric dentists and specialists provide comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children, including those with special health care needs.
We treat all children up to 18 years of age and provide a full range of oral health care, including examinations, cleanings, fillings, crowns and extractions.

Mouth is considered a mirror of the body. Dental health is an intrinsic and essential part of overall health.
It is commonly known that maternal oral health has an effect on the developing fetus. Hence, we focus on providing pre-natal, natal and antenatal oral and dental care for expecting mothers.
Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease. Left untreated, tooth decay can destroy the child’s teeth, and have a lasting effect on a child’s overall general health. It is advised to establish a Dental home for the child within first year of life. This enables the establishment of an appropriate preventive program and instills a positive dental attitude in the child and drastically reduces the chances of development of dental decay and/or gum diseases.
We aim to provide all aspects of high-quality specialist dental care to the entire family in an environment marked by convenience, technology and a friendly, cheerful and holistic manner.
In order to achieve this, we plan to focus on:
You should take your child to the pediatric dentist as soon as the first tooth erupts in their mouth, or right around the time your child turns one. Book an appointment with an expert at Bedi Hospital for pediatric consultation.
It is mandatory for a child to see a pediatric dentist till the age of 14, because by this time, all of their permanent teeth have grown out. Beyond this, it is the choice of the child and his/her parents. However, it is recommended that a child should visit a pediatric dentist till the age of 16.
For children, brushing should start with the eruption of the first tooth. However, expert kids dentist advice to make sure that the amount of toothpaste should be very small, almost equivalent to a grain of rice.
It is extremely important to maintain oral hygiene and keep the mouth clean & clear of germs, irrespective of the age. Mothers can clean the mouth, both upper and lower jaw, of their children with the help of a soft cloth
Most babies have a white coating on their tongue in the initial few weeks, which is completely normal. There is nothing wrong with their oral hygiene.
As milk teeth erupt and fall, people often think that they do not matter in the overall part of oral hygiene. However, milk teeth play some really important roles, like:
Babies are born with all their teeth - you can't see them because they are hidden in the gums. Baby teeth start to break through the gums around 6 months but it is important to start good oral care for infants even before the first tooth comes in. From healthy gums come healthy teeth.
