Paediatric Inguinal Hernia operation with Dr Nada at Assunta Hospital Malaysia

In this episode, Dr Nada shows what actually happens during a laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in a young child - from placing the first port to inspecting both sides of the groin from inside the abdomen.

This is where keyhole surgery truly makes a difference.

With one camera inside the tummy, surgeons can detect hernias on both sides, even if parents only notice swelling on one. This prevents future operations, extra costs, and unnecessary stress for families.

What Happens After Your Child’s Inguinal Hernia Surgery?

What should parents expect right after inguinal hernia surgery?

In this episode, Dr Nada explains the smooth recovery process - from waking up in the recovery area to going home just a few hours later.

Most children are confused for a short while as the anaesthetic wears off… then they’re sitting up, eating, drinking, and ready to go home the same day.

Follow-up is simple, and recurrence is extremely rare.

What’s a parent’s role in a child’s surgery?

It’s more important than you might think.

From giving consent and understanding the procedure ,to being your child’s emotional anchor before and after surgery - your presence makes all the difference.

When you walk with your child to the operating theatre, and when you’re there as they wake up, you help turn a frightening experience into one of comfort and trust.

Your love and calm reassurance are powerful medicine and they play a big part in your child’s recovery.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗞𝗶𝗱𝘀? 𝗗𝗿. 𝗡𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀

Surgery in children is more common than you might think. As a paediatric surgeon, I perform procedures almost daily, ranging from minor cases like tongue ties or inguinal hernias, which are as common in children as in adults, to more complex and rare conditions.

Rare conditions, like Hirschsprung's disease, anorectal malformations, or oesophageal atresia, occur in about 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 10,000 children.

Whether minor or serious, paediatric surgery plays a key role in improving children’s health.

Why Minimally Invasive Inguinal Hernia Surgery Is a Must for Children

Why go through traditional open surgery for inguinal hernia, with bigger scars, more pain, and longer recovery, when laparoscopic keyhole surgery offers a safer, faster, and more precise solution?

With this advanced approach, both sides of the groin can be checked and repaired through tiny incisions, preventing a second surgery later, saving your child unnecessary pain and you extra cost and stress.

Dr Nada has performed over 5,000 successful hernia repairs, helping children recover quickly and comfortably.
