Surgery in the first weeks of life is a world of its own. Newborn conditions such as biliary atresia, pyloric stenosis and anorectal malformation are often time-critical — the outcome can depend on how quickly they are recognised. Dr. Tanmay Motiwala provides neonatal surgical care with the urgency these conditions demand.
Conditions we treat
- Biliary atresia — Newborn jaundice past 2 weeks can be a serious, time-critical liver problem.
- Pyloric stenosis — Forceful vomiting after every feed in a young baby — a fixable cause.
- Anorectal malformation (ARM) — A baby born without a normal anal opening — the staged repair explained.
- Hirschsprung disease — A newborn not passing stool since birth may have Hirschsprung disease.
- Hypospadias — Never circumcise first — why, and when to plan the repair.
- Tongue-tie — When a tight tongue actually affects feeding — and when it doesn’t.
When to see a pediatric surgeon
Newborn jaundice lasting beyond two weeks, forceful vomiting after feeds, no stool since birth, or any structural problem noticed at birth should be assessed without delay. Early referral saves options — and sometimes lives.
