title: New concepts in pediatric plastic surgery.
abstract: The pediatric patient who requires plastic surgery usually has a birth defect or congenital deformity. Such problems may vary from a simple strawberry hemangioma to the most complex deformity involving the entire facial skeleton and soft tissue. New technics in treatment and advances in diagnosis allow such problems to be corrected with impunity, giving patients the opportunity to grow and lead normal, productive lives.
