About

Senior pediatric surgeon with 29 years of experience in children's surgery

Dr. Narendra Kumar is a Visiting Consultant Senior Pediatric Surgeon at Vivekananda Hospital, Begumpet. His academic pathway is MBBS + MS General Surgery + MCh Pediatric Surgery, the complete super-specialty qualification required for pediatric surgery in India. With 29+ years in pediatric surgery and 27 years as a medical teacher, he is widely recognised as the senior-most pediatric surgeon in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

MCh Pediatric Surgery is a 3-year super-specialty that follows MS General Surgery. It trains surgeons specifically for surgical conditions in infants, children, and adolescents - where anatomy, physiology, drug doses, anaesthesia, and post-operative care differ significantly from adult surgery. A pediatric surgeon handles everything from common conditions like hernias and undescended testes to complex congenital anomalies and neonatal emergencies.

His clinical range is exceptional. Common pediatric surgical conditions (hernia, undescended testes, appendicitis, hydrocele, tonsillitis needing surgery) form the everyday practice. Complex congenital anomalies - birth defects affecting the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, thoracic cavity, and other systems - are a specialist focus. Over 29 years he has also handled rare surgical corrections that have drawn national attention, including children with supernumerary (extra) limbs, a surgery type that requires multi-specialty planning few surgeons in India have performed.

At Vivekananda Hospital, the evening OPD is used for consultation, pre-operative evaluation, post-operative follow-up, and second opinions. Common pediatric surgeries suitable for the hospital's pediatric anaesthesia and ward setup are performed at Vivekananda. Neonatal surgery, complex congenital anomaly correction, and highly specialised pediatric procedures are coordinated to tertiary pediatric surgery centres equipped for those specific interventions. Paediatric medical care coordinates with Dr. M. Aravind Kumar and Dr. Sree Mukesh Dutta (Paediatricians at Vivekananda).

Children are not small adults. Their anatomy, physiology, and recovery patterns are different, and so is the emotional impact of surgery on the child and family. In 29 years of pediatric surgery, the most important lesson is that the best surgery is the one that restores normal life - not just fixes the anatomy.

Parent Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I book an appointment with Dr. Narendra Kumar?
Call +91 72079 04418 or WhatsApp the same number. OPD is Monday to Saturday, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (evening only). Advance appointment is strongly recommended given his OPD volume. Bring your child's prior scans, reports, and vaccination records for the most productive consultation.
What is the difference between a Paediatrician and a Pediatric Surgeon?
A Paediatrician is a medical doctor specialising in children's health and manages illness through medication, vaccinations, and routine care. A Pediatric Surgeon (like Dr. Narendra Kumar) is a surgeon specifically trained in surgical conditions in children. Dr. M. Aravind Kumar and Dr. Sree Mukesh Dutta are Paediatricians at Vivekananda; they manage routine children's health. Dr. Narendra Kumar handles surgical issues - often with paediatrician coordination for the overall care.
Why is MCh Pediatric Surgery important?
MCh Pediatric Surgery is a 3-year super-specialty training after MS General Surgery, focused specifically on children's surgical conditions. Pediatric anatomy, physiology, drug dosing, anaesthesia, and post-operative recovery differ significantly from adults. A pediatric surgeon's training ensures the right technique, correct drug doses, appropriate incisions, and age-specific post-operative care. Always verify your child's surgeon has MCh or DNB Pediatric Surgery qualification.
My son has undescended testes. When does it need surgery?
Orchidopexy (surgery to bring the testis into the scrotum) is ideally done between 6 months and 18 months of age, and definitely before the second birthday. Delayed surgery increases the risk of infertility and testicular cancer later in life. If one or both testes are not felt in the scrotum at routine check-ups, pediatric surgical consultation is important to confirm the diagnosis and plan surgery at the right age.
Can my child have surgery at Vivekananda Hospital?
Common pediatric surgeries - hernia repair, hydrocele, orchidopexy for undescended testes, appendectomy, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and similar elective procedures - are performed at Vivekananda Hospital. For neonatal surgery, complex congenital anomaly corrections, or highly specialised pediatric procedures needing dedicated pediatric intensive care (PICU), Dr. Narendra Kumar coordinates referral to appropriate tertiary pediatric surgery centres with continuity of care.
What about surgery on a newborn or baby with a birth defect?
Surgery on newborns (neonatal surgery) and correction of complex birth defects require specialised pediatric surgery centres with NICU-level care and dedicated neonatal anaesthesia support. Dr. Narendra Kumar evaluates the condition, explains surgical options, and coordinates referral to appropriate tertiary centres. The initial evaluation and long-term follow-up can continue at Vivekananda.
What should parents expect during the first consultation?
Dr. Narendra Kumar examines the child, reviews prior medical history, vaccination status, and any existing reports. He explains the diagnosis in clear language both to parents and age-appropriately to the child. All treatment options are discussed, including when surgery is genuinely needed versus conservative management. Surgical plans include timing, what the surgery involves, hospital stay expected, and recovery.
How long will my child stay in hospital after surgery?
Most simple pediatric surgeries (hernia, orchidopexy, appendectomy) need 1-2 day admission. Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy are usually day-care or 1-night stay. Hypospadias and complex procedures need 2-4 days. Parents can stay with the child throughout the admission. Post-operative care instructions, pain management, and follow-up appointments are explained clearly at discharge.
Are pediatric surgeries covered by insurance?
Yes. Vivekananda Hospital is empanelled with CGHS, ESI, Aarogyasri, Arogyabhadratha and 25+ private insurers. Pediatric hernia, undescended testes, appendix surgery, tonsillectomy, and similar medically necessary procedures are typically covered. Elective circumcision may have partial coverage. Bring policy documents before admission for cashless eligibility confirmation.
Does he handle common adult surgical conditions too?
His practice at Vivekananda is exclusively pediatric surgery (infants, children, and adolescents up to 18 years). For adult surgical conditions, Vivekananda has a separate team: Dr. Deeraj Jaliwar (laparoscopic and laser surgery), Dr. Abhilash N (visiting laparoscopic), Dr. Nava Kishore (HPB surgery), and Dr. J.K. Kumar (surgical gastroenterology). Dr. Narendra Kumar focuses entirely on children.
