In a remarkable life-saving intervention, doctors at KIMS Cuddles, Kurnool successfully treated a newborn diagnosed with Hirschsprung's disease just days after birth.
When the baby did not pass stools within the first 48 hours—a critical warning sign—the team led by Dr. V. Sai Prasuna (Consultant Pediatric & Neonatal Surgeon, Pediatric Urologist) quickly diagnosed the condition and performed an advanced Transanal Endorectal Pull-Through (TERPT) procedure on the 7th day of life.
A single-stage surgery
✔️ No external incisions
✔️ No colostomy bag needed
✔️ Faster recovery and no visible scars
Doctors also urge parents not to ignore persistent constipation or delayed passage of stools in newborns, as early diagnosis can be life-saving.
