Congenital abnormalities. The timing and management of surgical reconstruction in infancy and childhood.
The proper timing of corrective and reconstructive surgical operations for the management of congenital abnormalities in infancy and childhood is exceptionally important. Although no hard and fast rules apply, each deformity should be evaluated in the light of specific features of local and general relationship. Correlation to growth and development must be stressed as an important feature. Evaluation of the congenital abnormality in the light of its many relationships provides for a basis of better complete handling, follow-up, and ultimate result with the aim directed toward elimination of tumor threat, restoration of function and esthetic improvement.
