0 Capillary hemangiomas and hemangioendotheliomas show spontaneous regression. Corticosteroids are used to speed it up.
0 Lymphangioma is a hamartomatous malformation of the lymphatic system. It is most common in the cervical region. Recurrence is high after elective surgery.
0 In cleft lip, 6 weeks are expected for hidden anomalies and medical problems.
0 Cleft palate, defects not involving bone are closed at 6-8 months of age.
0 Syndactyly should be corrected at 6 months if there is fusion of the fingertips.
0 Polydactyly is operated at the age of 3 months for finger development.
0 During the neonatal period of torticollis, compelling, muscle-stretching massage and exercise should be done. If the muscle is short, it is cut.
0 Hydrocele is physiological in the newborn and disappears in 3 weeks. After 18 months, surgical intervention can be applied to very tight hydroceles.
0 Inguinal Herni: Surgery should be performed under elective conditions without long-term delay.
0 Umbilical Hernia: Most of them close spontaneously. Surgical indications:
1. Thin, atrophic, umbilical scar
2. Rapid growth of the defect
3. If the defect still has not shrunk after 2 years of age
4. Incarceration
0 Undescended Testicle: 1-2 years old is the optimal time for surgical treatment.
0 Hypospadias: If there is a ventral curvature of the penis, relaxation of the fibrous tissues is required. The most suitable age is around 1-2 years old.
0 Extrophia vesica: In the first 3 days, the pubis bones can be brought together after the bladder is repaired, without the need for osteotomy.
0 Familial polyposis: Excision is made with the juvenile polyposis. Familyal In polyposis, total colectomy should be performed before puberty or before 10 years of age.
0 Portal hypertension: 5 years for a portocaval shunt and 7 years for a splenorenal shunt is the optimal time.
0 Aganglionic megacolon: Colostomy should be performed in the neonatal period, and definitive surgery should be performed when the child reaches 10 kg.
0 Biliary atresia: If obstructive jaundice persists, surgical intervention should be performed in 8 weeks.
0 Congenital diaphragmatic hernia: It can be treated in the intrauterine period. To prevent lung hypoplasia, the trachea is occluded and stimulation of surfactant and growth factors is provided in the lung.
