Robotic Pyeloplasty in Children – A Hyderabad Success Story

When parents hear that their baby has a kidney blockage, it can be overwhelming. But today, with robotic pyeloplasty, children can receive safe, precise, and minimally invasive treatment.

A Baby Girl’s Inspiring Recovery

In Hyderabad, a one-year-old baby girl diagnosed with kidney swelling (hydronephrosis) before birth was successfully treated through robotic pyeloplasty by Dr. Prabhu Karunakaran, a leading Pediatric Urologist in Hyderabad.

For nearly a year, her condition was monitored with medicines and scans. When the blockage persisted, Dr. Prabhu recommended robotic surgery—a minimally invasive procedure using tiny incisions. The operation went smoothly, and by the next day, the baby was playful and active, showing how robotic precision speeds up healing and recovery.

Why Choose Robotic Surgery for Children?

Robotic pyeloplasty offers several advantages for infants and children:

• Tiny cuts and minimal scars

• Accurate, safe, and gentle technique

• Less pain and faster healing

• Quick return to normal activities

For conditions like Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction (PUJO), robotic surgery helps protect kidney function while minimizing discomfort.
