Minimally Invasive Surgery
The paediatric surgery team at KIMS are experts in using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopy and thoracoscopy) to operate on children using cutting edge technology. This removes the need for large incisions, reducing pain and length of hospital stay and reduces scarring. We are one of the few centers in the world to apply laparoscopic techniques in small babies.
Antenatal Counselling
Many abnormalites are detected on routine ultrasound scanning of pregnant mothers, and some of these conditions will require surgical intervention after birth.Our paediatric surgeons provide a detailed antenatal counselling service for parents explaining the conditions, the likely outcomes and the surgical management, helping to reduce anxiety. The parents are therefore able to meet the team before their babies are born and gain a better understanding of the care their baby will receive. This also allows us to plan the optimal time and method of delivery.

Antenatal Urology
An abnormality in the kidneys or the bladder of the developing fetus is commonly seen on antenatal ultrasound scans allowing us to detect problems early on, although these abnormalities improve spontaneously during the pregnancy or after birth. Our surgeons and nurse specialists provide an integrated antenatal counselling service for all significant paediatric urology referrals within the fetal medicine department and ensure that the correct safe and appropriate management for each individual child during the pregnancy and in the potentially complicated period after the child's birth.
Continence
Incontinence in children can be devastating for both the child and the parents. Wetting can occur in the day, at night, or due to a congenital problem within the bladder. Because of this broad range of causes and impacts we have created a wide ranging treatment program. All children are assessed by either expert surgeons or clinical nurse specialists. At KIMS all children receive the best care, tailored to their particular needs and condition. We provide clinics and treatment for day and night time wetters along with specialist complex clinics for children with conditions such as giggle incontinence.
