Meet Your Paediatric Laparoscopic Surgeon
Dr Nada Sudhakaran
Dr Nada Sudhakaran is a Consultant Paediatric Surgeon & Urologist with a special interest in laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery for children.
His surgical practice covers a broad range of paediatric conditions, including emergency surgery, neonatal surgery, general paediatric surgery, thoracic conditions and paediatric urology.
Every child is different. The treatment plan is therefore based on the child’s condition and individual surgical needs. Parents can discuss their child’s symptoms, diagnosis, investigations and available treatment options during a specialist consultation.
Paediatric Surgical Conditions & Treatments
Children may require surgery for many different conditions, ranging from urgent emergencies to congenital conditions and planned procedures. Laparoscopy.my provides specialist assessment and surgical care across several areas of paediatric surgery.
Acute Emergency Conditions & Treatment
Some childhood conditions require urgent surgical assessment and treatment. These may include acute appendicitis, intussusception, bowel obstruction and incarcerated or strangulated hernias. Early specialist assessment can help determine whether surgery is required and which surgical approach is appropriate for the child.
Neonatal Surgery
Newborn babies can develop congenital conditions that require specialised surgical care. Neonatal surgery may involve conditions affecting the digestive system, bowel, chest or other organs. The surgical approach depends on the baby’s condition, age, size, medical stability and complexity of the problem. Where appropriate, minimally invasive techniques may be considered.Laparoscopy.my provides specialist paediatric surgical assessment for newborns requiring surgical care.
Semi Elective Surgery
Not every childhood surgical condition requires emergency treatment. Some conditions can be assessed and treated through planned surgery after the child has been properly evaluated. Semi-elective paediatric surgery may include conditions such as inguinal hernia and other problems that require surgical correction but do not require immediate emergency intervention. Parents can discuss the timing, preparation, procedure, and recovery process during consultation.
Childhood Tumours
Childhood tumours require careful assessment and specialist management. Surgical treatment depends on the type, location and extent of the tumour, as well as the child’s overall condition. Where surgery is required, the treatment plan may involve specialist paediatric surgical techniques and coordination with other medical teams when necessary.
Paediatric Thoracic Conditions and Treatments
Paediatric thoracic surgery involves conditions affecting the chest and structures between the neck and abdomen. Some children may require surgery for congenital or acquired conditions involving the lungs, airway or other structures within the chest. Thoracoscopic or minimally invasive techniques may be considered for selected conditions when clinically suitable.A specialist assessment helps determine the appropriate diagnostic and surgical approach.
Paediatric Urology Conditions & Treatment
Children can develop conditions affecting the urinary system, kidneys, bladder and genital organs. Paediatric urological surgery requires an approach that considers the child’s age, development and individual condition.
Treatment may include surgical management of conditions such as undescended testicles, hydronephrosis, hypospadias and other paediatric urological problems.
If your child has been diagnosed with a paediatric urology condition, a specialist consultation can help you understand the available treatment options.
From Newborns to Children
Laparoscopy.my provides paediatric surgical care for children at different stages of development. This includes newborn babies requiring neonatal surgical assessment, infants and young children with congenital or acquired conditions, school-aged children requiring planned or emergency surgery, and teenagers with paediatric surgical or urological conditions. The recommended treatment approach is tailored to each child’s condition and needs.
Laparoscopic & Minimally Invasive Surgery for Children
Laparoscopic and minimally invasive techniques may be suitable for selected paediatric procedures. These techniques use specialised instruments and small surgical openings to access and treat the affected area.
The decision to use laparoscopic surgery is made after assessing the child’s condition and surgical requirements. Open surgery may still be more appropriate for certain conditions or circumstances.
At Laparoscopy.my, parents can discuss the available surgical approaches and understand why a particular technique may be recommended for their child.
What Happens During a Consultation?
A paediatric surgical consultation begins with understanding your child’s symptoms, medical history and previous investigations.
The specialist will assess the condition and explain whether surgery may be required. If surgery is recommended, parents can discuss the available techniques, preparation, recovery and follow-up care.
The consultation is also an opportunity to ask questions and understand what to expect at each stage of treatment.
