Dr Nada Shows How Paediatric Keyhole Surgery Really Works (Part 3)

After seeing the Operating Theatre (Part 1) and stepping inside the Operating Room (Part 2), now watch how laparoscopic surgery is actually done here at Assunta Hospital Malaysia

Join Dr Nada and his nurse Schola, as they demonstrate the camera system, light source, and tiny instruments that allow surgeons to operate through just three small incisions, with magnified 4K vision and incredible precision.

This is the technology that makes keyhole or laparoscopic surgery safer, less painful, and faster for children.

"Strength in every tiny heartbeat. Hope in every helping hand.”

Today is World Prematurity Day and we honour the extraordinary resilience of premature babies and the unwavering dedication of the families and teams who walk beside them.

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.

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.

Why does your child’s age matter for surgery?

It’s more important than most parents realise.

When surgery is done before the age of four, children usually won’t remember the experience. That’s why early treatment , even for elective procedures, is often best.

It helps reduce psychological stress, avoids long-term fear of hospitals and ensures your child can heal and move on without those memories.

Early care means faster recovery, both physically and emotionally.

Do children recover faster from surgery?

Yes, they usually do!

Children tend to heal and bounce back much quicker than adults. They experience less anxiety, focus less on the pain, and are eager to get back to playing and enjoying life.

Adults often overthink the process, but kids? They’re resilient — one moment they’re resting, and the next they’re up and smiling again.

That’s the beauty of treating children - they remind us how strong the human body can be.

Do babies feel pain less than adults?

The answer is no - babies do feel pain, even though they can’t express it like older children.

That’s why, as a paediatric surgeon, I always make sure every child is as pain-free and comfortable as possible during any procedure, no matter how small.

And it’s also why I don’t recommend newborn circumcision.

It’s not just painful, it carries a higher risk of complications in such a delicate area.

Every child deserves care that prioritises comfort, safety, and healing.

Is anaesthesia safe for babies and children?

Many parents worry but the answer is YES, it’s very safe.

Modern technology allows anaesthetists to closely monitor every heartbeat, breath, and oxygen level throughout surgery. Even premature babies can safely undergo anaesthesia without long-term or short-term effects.

So parents can feel confident - your child is carefully watched and protected every step of the way.

💬 “Do most children need surgery when they see a paediatric surgeon?”
Many parents assume the answer is yes — but actually, it’s false.

As Dr Nada explains:

👉 Around 90% of children who visit his clinic don’t need surgery.

Only about 10% — those with obvious structural problems like hernias — require an operation.

Most children come in with issues such as constipation or abdominal pain, which are usually treated with simple medications or minor adjustments.

So don’t worry — seeing a paediatric surgeon doesn’t mean your child will end up in the operating theatre.
