My small baby cured with Laparoscopic kidney surgery (pyeloplasty)
Dear all
Our son Sai Namish had Hydronephrosis in his left kidney and we came to know about it just one day before his birth. We thought it would be minor problem and it would automatically cure after few weeks of birth as this was identified just one day before birth through ultrasound. We were very worried as it was not coming back to normal even after 2 weeks.
Then our paediatrician suggested us to consult Dr. V.V.S.Chandrasekharam sir. The day when we met him, we were convinced that it is curable, but we as parents worried that our son might have to undergo a surgery. Then Doctor told about his website kidsurgeon.com, I read some testimonials and also contacted some of them. We got confidence that our kid is in safe hands now. We followed doctor's instructions and repeated the ultrasound at 6 weeks of age. This showed that the hydronephrosis had worsened, with AP diameter of 50mm (very severe). We then did a DTPA renogram which showed PUJ obstruction of left kidney with decreased function of the left kidney.
Then, Dr Chandrasekharam advised surgery and our son got operated when he was just 2 months old. We were very worried at the thought of major operation in such a small baby. But the doctor told us that the operation will be done by laparoscopy (key-hole surgery) without any cut on our son’s stomach. We realized that Dr Chandrasekharam had done over 200 such operations in babies and is one of the few experts in this field. Thus, our baby underwent laparoscopic pyeloplasty at 2 months of age. After surgery, Dr Chandrasekharam told us that although it was a severe hydronephrosis and severe obstruction, the surgery had gone very well. Our child recovered very quickly from the surgery and was discharged from the hospital in just 2 days. The stent was removed after 6 weeks.
Finally, the day has come for next Ultrasound, which has to be done after three months of surgery and the result was excellent than what we expected his AP diameter has gone down to 12 mm from 50 mm, which was just too good. Our son underwent Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty  surgery, and there is not even a single scar on his tummy; No one can say that our baby had surgery, he is just normal like any other baby. Thanks for such wonderful technology and most important person Dr. Chandrasekharam sir, who bought our son back to normal. Thank you very much sir from bottom of our heart, you are just amazing.
I wish no kid should have this problem, but if some kid is having this problem, then the right person to consult is Dr.Chandrasekharam sir, he is "The best and right person" for such case. 
Once again thank you so much Sir on behalf of Sai Namish, Grand parents and my Wife.
Best Regards,
