Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate

CLEFT LIP (CHEILOSHISIS) and CLEFT PALATE (PALATOSCHISIS) are among the most common birth defects affecting children worldwide. The incomplete formation of the upper lip (cleft lip) or roof of the mouth (cleft palate) can occur individually, or both defects may occur together. The conditions can vary in severity and may involve one or both sides of the mouth. Surgery is required to repair cleft lip and/or cleft palate.

It is important to know that at the earliest stages feeding, growth, and development will be the most important priorities for your child’s cleft-related care.

Syndactyly

Syndactyly is a congenital condition where two or more fingers or toes are fused together due to skin, soft tissue, or bone connections. Syndactyly surgery is performed to separate the fused digits and improve hand or foot function, as well as appearance.

This procedure is ideal for individuals who have:

Webbed or fused fingers or toes, affecting movement or dexterity.
Functional limitations that interfere with daily activities.
Cosmetic concerns about the appearance of the hands or feet.

The surgery typically involves making precise incisions to separate the digits, followed by skin grafting if necessary to ensure proper coverage and healing. The goal is to restore normal hand or foot function while achieving a natural, symmetrical look. In some cases, additional procedures may be needed for full correction, especially if bones or joints are involved.

Hemangioma

A hemangioma is a benign tumor made up of abnormal blood vessels, commonly appearing as a red or bluish lump on the skin or deeper tissues. It is most frequently seen in infants and young children, often growing rapidly before gradually fading over time. While many hemangiomas do not require treatment, some may cause complications depending on their size and location.

Common concerns with hemangiomas include:

Rapid growth, which may lead to functional or cosmetic issues.
Ulceration and bleeding, especially in larger or exposed areas.
Obstruction, particularly if located near the eyes, nose, or mouth.

Treatment may involve medications (such as beta-blockers), laser therapy, or surgical removal for cases that cause discomfort, impair function, or result in significant cosmetic concerns. Early evaluation ensures proper management and the best possible outcome.
