Congenital Anomaly Correction

Compassionate Surgical Solutions for Congenital Conditions

The birth of a child with a congenital anomaly can be an unexpected and challenging journey for a family. We want to assure you that you are not alone, and that a clear path of care exists. Our highly specialised pediatric reconstructive surgery team in Antalya is dedicated to providing compassionate and world-class solutions for a range of congenital conditions. Our goal is to correct or rebuild affected body parts to improve both function and appearance, giving your child the foundation for a healthy, happy, and confident life.

We offer expert surgical correction for conditions including:

• Hand Anomalies: Such as extra fingers or toes (polydactyly) and fused or "webbed" fingers (syndactyly).

• Ear Anomalies: Including absent or significantly underdeveloped ears (microtia).

Advanced Reconstructive Surgical Techniques

Reconstructive surgery for congenital anomalies is a highly specialised field that goes beyond aesthetics to restore function. Each child's treatment plan is entirely unique. Our surgeons utilise a range of advanced techniques, including precision skin grafts, complex tissue flaps, and custom-sculpted cartilage frameworks (often used in ear reconstruction) to achieve the best possible outcome for your child.

The Lifelong Benefits for Your Child

Our primary focus is on your child's long-term health and wellbeing:

• Improved Function: The surgery aims to provide the full use of a hand, improve hearing pathways, and restore other critical functions.

• Enhanced Symmetry and Appearance: We strive to create a natural appearance that allows your child to grow and develop without feeling different.

• Better Social and Psychological Wellbeing: By improving both function and form, our goal is to foster healthy self-esteem and allow your child to thrive socially and emotionally.

Your Questions Answered: The Path of Care

• When is surgery performed? The timing of surgery is a critical decision that is carefully planned to align with your child's specific condition and key developmental stages, often taking place between infancy and early childhood.

• Is the surgery permanent? Yes, the corrections are designed to be permanent and provide a lifelong improvement. In some complex cases, minor follow-up procedures may be beneficial as your child grows.

• What are the risks? As with any surgery, risks include infection, scarring, and the potential for an incomplete correction that may require further stages. Our team is dedicated to minimising these risks and will discuss them transparently with you.

• What is the long-term outlook? The results of these reconstructive procedures are typically stable and will provide lasting benefits throughout your child's life.
