Dr. Hamidreza Foroutan

Dr. Hamidreza Foroutan is a Specialist Pediatric Surgeon at Iranian Hospital in Dubai, bringing more than 35 years of clinical experience in pediatric and neonatal surgical care. He trained at Shiraz University in Iran, completing his medical degree at the Faculty of Medicine, Shiraz (1979–1986), followed by general surgical training (1986–1990) and specialized pediatric surgery training (1991–1994). Before joining Iranian Hospital in 2013, he spent 23 years as a Consultant Pediatric Surgeon at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, where he also led the fetal intervention team.

Dr. Foroutan treats newborns and children with a wide range of birth defects and acquired surgical conditions. His expertise includes neonatal surgery for conditions like esophageal atresia (where the food pipe does not connect properly to the stomach) and diaphragmatic hernia (a hole in the muscle between the chest and abdomen). He also manages anorectal malformations, Hirschsprung disease (using single-stage transanal pull-through, a minimally invasive approach), and complex urological problems including hypospadias (an abnormality of the urethra), vesicoureteral reflux (backward flow of urine into the kidneys), and bladder exstrophy (where the bladder develops outside the body). His surgical scope extends to hepatobiliary and thoracic conditions, liver and kidney tumours, and intersex conditions.

Dr. Foroutan is fluent in English and Persian. He is well suited for families seeking comprehensive, experienced surgical care for children with complex congenital or acquired conditions, particularly those requiring minimally invasive or specialized neonatal techniques.
