Dr. Vijay Raj. S

Pediatric Urologist

Dr. S. Vijay Raj is a highly qualified Paediatric and Neonatal Laparoscopic Surgeon and Paediatric Urologist at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Chennai, holding an MCh in Paediatric Surgery, along with MRCS (Member of the Royal College of Surgeons), an internationally recognised surgical qualification that reflects training benchmarked against British surgical standards. This combination of MCh and MRCS credentials places Dr. Vijay Raj among Chennai’s paediatric surgeons with both nationally and internationally validated surgical expertise.

A defining hallmark of Dr. Vijay Raj’s practice is his commitment to minimally invasive surgery, applying laparoscopic and keyhole techniques across neonatal surgery, paediatric urology, and gastrointestinal surgery wherever clinically appropriate. Minimally invasive surgery in children means smaller incisions, significantly less post-operative pain, faster return to normal activity, shorter hospital stays, and superior cosmetic outcomes, benefits that matter enormously for growing children and their families.

His particular expertise in Hypospadias Surgery further reflects a high level of subspecialty urological training. Hypospadias repair is one of the most technically demanding procedures in paediatric urology, requiring precision, experience, and meticulous surgical technique to achieve both functional and cosmetic success. Available Monday through Saturday by appointment at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Dr. Vijay Raj offers focused, personalised surgical consultations for families across Chennai.
