Surgical intervention can correct many congenital anomalies. During intrauterine development, numerous hereditary defects can arise. Correction of congenital anomalies should be performed at an early age so that the child's appearance does not differ from the norm.
Surgical correction in Israel can help correct congenital disorders such as cleft lip, craniosynostosis, hydrocephalus, coloboma, cranial hernia, cleft palate, and others.
Cleft lip or "harelip" is a common developmental defect that occurs in one out of every thousand newborns. The presence of such an anomaly hinders normal feeding of the child. This defect is corrected within three days after the child's birth.
Craniosynostosis is a pathology where the size of the skull impedes normal brain development. In this case, the sutures close too early, resulting in disrupted bone growth. The presence of this anomaly may lead to the development of hydrocephalus and brain atrophy.
Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by the expansion of the subarachnoid space and ventricles due to an excess of cerebrospinal fluid. Characteristic symptoms of hydrocephalus include an enlarged head, thinning of the skull bones, and neurological disorders.
Coloboma is a congenital defect of the facial skeleton characterized by the development of oblique oral and ocular clefts. Diagnosis of this anomaly is possible even during intrauterine development. Correction is performed starting from six months of age, addressing soft tissue defects. After five years, bone plastic surgery and ocular prosthetics may be performed.
Cranial hernia is an extremely rare anomaly. In this case, there are defects in the skull bones through which the membranes of the brain may prolapse. As a result, a tumor-like formation develops. Surgical treatment is possible between the ages of one and three years.
Cleft palate is a defect that occurs more frequently than others. The consequence of this anomaly is impaired phonation and reduced hearing in the child. In this defect, the corners of the mouth are not fused, and there is constant drooling. Surgical correction in Israel is performed after the child's first year of life.
