Obviously this surgery, on this video, is done in a less developed country. I've seen a lot of osteotomy videos and I can see a huge difference between the developed countries. For example there was an internal femural surgery being done and it looked really messed up and there was too much blood. However, I saw another video with the same surgery but this time it was done by an american doctor. The surgery was much more organised, less brutal and I can easily say it was more "high class" or sophisticated. Furthermore there was less blood and definitely less scary by a HUGE difference.
There is no need to fear if you are doing LL with Dr. Paley for example. Either way, personally surgeries never scared me but to each his own. I hope I made some people a little less scared now...? Lol
FOR NEW MEMBERS who dont really have idea of what "osteotomy " is
Maybe this video does show why majority of the doctors do not prefer LATN over LON. Nevertheless, it's better to stick with pure externals for tibial LL and avoid the additional trauma from nail insertion.

This is what LON ends up looking like through standard techniques. It doesn't have to do with it being performed in a less developed country. Dr Parihar learned these techniques straight from Dr Paley himself.

The country plays a big role. You can't compare America (Dr. Paley) the best LL surgeon with this doctor who is from India.

Dr Parihar, the one who did the commentary on the video and performed the surgery, was Dr Paley's fellow for a full year and learned those limb lengthening techniques straight from him. Yet you're saying that because the doctor is from India, he automatically does his procedures in a more barbaric way? I'm not sure I follow your line of reasoning.
I agree with Kilokahn on this. It's a standard procedure. I did internals but I recall watching this video before my surgery (along with a couple other videos, including Guichet internals and Mahboubian internals). It's enjoyable and educating for me, but I see why many people would fear doing this after watching surgery videos. Yet the same could be said for many surgery videos, even liposuction, despite it being such a simple surgery (unlike LL). If this video makes you doubtful about LL in the slightest way possible, then I advise you not to do it. You shouldn't have doubts when you're walking into something like this.
I would've laughed if the background music was American Psycho-like. Can you imagine Sussudio in a surgery video? Lol. It would change your entire barbaric video into a fun one.
Lol, if there is no such thing as anesthesia , I wonder how many people on this forum and old forum will go through all of this to become taller. Probably none...

Every surgery would be torture without anesthesia. Of course no one would do it under such circumstances.
Yeah, I know. It would be like Saw except you will be tortured to get taller 
Pulling out a catheter is also pretty hurtful from what I heard by the way. So be ready for that as well 
And you will be awake when they do it 
Yes, pulling out the catheter hurts, but it's only for a second or two. But the mental preparation for those two seconds was more difficult for me than preparing for LL altogether, lol. Thinking about it again..nah, actually I don't want to remember it at all..
