Main causes of tummy pain in children include infection, abnormal growths, inflammation, obstruction (blockage), and intestinal disorders.
Many different things can cause children to vomit. Things such as any forms of infections, intestinal blockage or even pain. Discover the most common symptoms and causes.
Most of the time, the groin swelling or lumps in young children is caused by either Hernias, Hydrocoeles, or other problems with the testis or ovaries. Some conditions are more urgent than others.
Children may not be able to tell you about the symptoms they have as a result of Urinary Problems. This can make it hard to decide what your child needs.
Traditional open surgery is commonly associated with a long and extended recovery period in hospital
Permanent scarring & disfigurement to our child is common with open surgery, in addition to severe recovery pain

Keyhole surgery is proven to be a safe and less painful alternative compared to open surgery

胸腔镜治肺畸形 患童少痛楚 2岁前切肺可重生
一般建议，肺畸形婴儿在8至10个月大时进行手术。这个时候的婴儿较为健壮，足以接受择期手术，并且在切除肺叶后，还留有足够的时间让新的肺组织再生。手术方法主要分成传统的开放式手术和胸腔镜手术两种，后者的好处在于孩子在术后不会有太大的痛苦。

肺呼吸道异常 肺隔离 肺气肿 3大常见先天性肺畸形
胎儿肺部发育期间的任何阶段出现异常，就会导致不同类型的肺畸形，但是目前尚不知肺畸形发生确切原因。大约每2万至3万名儿童之间，就有1人患上肺畸形，其中绝大多数是CPAM。
“肺畸形（lung malformation）是指肺组织异常形成的肿块，涵盖了累及气道（airaway）或肺组织本身的病症，例如：
‧先天性肺部呼吸道畸形（Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation，CPAM），旧称先天性囊肿性腺瘤样畸形（Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation，CCAM）
‧支气管肺隔离症（Broncho-Pulmonary Sequestration，BPS）
‧先天性肺叶性气肿（Congenital Lobar Emphysema，CLE）
肺畸形是先天性的，与胎儿肺部形成有关。肺部是从一对肺芽（lung buds）发育而来，它们生长成主要呼吸道、气管、左右肺叶支气管（图1），继续分支出细支气管和末端海绵状的肺泡（alveoli）。就像一棵大树由主干长成树枝，在这种情况下，支气管分支和肺泡就像树叶。👇

𝐃𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐝𝐚: "When we assess the outcomes of surgery, we like to see that function is as normal as we can get it after surgery and secondly the appearance should be great too.
If something does not turn out as expected, there may be non-surgical remedies that can prevent issues with function or appearance. However, in rare cases, there may be a need for surgical repair."

Dr Nada: "For any situation, especially in children, surgery is best done once and done well so there are no problems with your child for the rest of his or her life.
It is essential to pick your surgeon carefully. For your child, do look for a Paediatric surgeon (not an adult general surgeon) who is experienced in the field. You will have an idea of your surgeon's experience and often a gut feeling from your rapport with the surgeon.
A skilled paediatric surgeon should be able to make good progress with your child’s condition, so do avoid adult surgeons for even common conditions such as appendicectomies or hernias where the risk of complications in the wrong hands are greater.
If the surgery fails, reassessment is made to decide if repeat surgery is required.

The first signs of 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬 are often a mild fever and pain around the belly button. It might seem like just a stomachache.
But with appendicitis, the pain usually gets worse and moves to the lower right side of the belly.
If a child has belly pain, be on the lookout for these signs of appendicitis:
- strong pain, mainly around the belly button or in the lower right part of the belly (the pain might come and go at first, then grow steady and intense)
- low-grade fever
- loss of appetite
- nausea (feeling sick) and vomiting (throwing up)
- diarrhea (especially small amounts, with mucus)
- swollen belly
If pain spreads across the belly, it may mean the appendix has burst. Doctors call this ruptured appendicitis, and it’s serious. A high fever reaching 104°F (40°C) is another sign of a burst appendix.

Dr. Nada: "In my experience, it is rare for something bad to happen during surgery.
Usually the problem is addressed in the acute situation and what happens during surgery is discussed with the child’s parents.
If I were to find something unusual during surgery and require further discussion and consent from parents, I would stop surgery, discuss with the child’s parents and then proceed with the decision of that discussion."

When it comes to Appendicitis in children, usually the only solution is to remove the appendix via surgery (appendectomy).
Parents will have two types of surgery to choose from:
1) OPEN surgery, or
2) KEYHOLE surgery (or laparoscopic surgery).
Do you know what the difference is between these two techniques?
One of them leads to less scarring, less pain and faster recovery for the child.
Find out which one that is by watching Dr Nada's video below 👇

Dr. Nada: "Surgery is done only if it's necessary and done at the appropriate time.
Some conditions may require emergency surgery, even for a newborn, if the condition requires it. There are therefore a variety of conditions and severity of illnesses in children that I face, also their ages range from newborn or even premature babies up to someone of 18 years old. Obviously, the more sick child has a higher risk when going for surgeries.
Anaesthesia these days is extremely safe even for newborn babies. As mentioned before for 99% of the surgeries I do, the risks are minimal.
The very rare sick child or newborn baby may carry a higher risk for surgery and these risks will be discussed with their parents thoroughly before every surgery."
