What is Paediatric OncoSurgery?

Paediatric oncosurgery is a specialised field focused on the surgical treatment of solid tumours in infants, children, and adolescents. Since childhood tumours behave differently from adult cancers—often responding well to a combination of chemotherapy and surgery—treatment requires a carefully coordinated approach involving paediatric oncologists, radiologists, and surgeons working together to achieve the best possible outcome while safeguarding the child's growth and development.

• Neuroblastoma

A Supportive, Family-Centred Approach

A childhood cancer diagnosis is an intensely difficult experience for any family. Dr. Baheti approaches every case with sensitivity, patience, and honesty—ensuring parents clearly understand the diagnosis, the role of surgery within the broader treatment plan, and what to expect at each stage. His goal is to provide not only skilled surgical care but also steady reassurance and support throughout the treatment journey.

What to Expect During Consultation

Diagnosis typically involves detailed imaging, blood investigations, and where necessary, biopsy, to confirm the type and extent of the tumour. Dr. Baheti works closely with the paediatric oncology team to determine whether surgery is needed upfront or after chemotherapy, explaining the recommended approach, surgical goals, and expected recovery in a clear, supportive manner.

If your child has been diagnosed with a solid tumour or suspicious mass, schedule a consultation with Dr. Akshay Baheti for expert, multidisciplinary surgical care.
