Children born with congenital anomalies, which are conditions present at birth affecting the body’s structure or function, or those who sustain injuries or burns, might require surgical support to help them develop healthily. These conditions can involve areas like the face, hands, ears, or skin and may influence how a child eats, talks, moves, or interacts with others.
Dr Alnabi offers dedicated paediatric reconstructive surgery, prioritising safety, accuracy, and care that centres on your family. Every treatment plan is carefully tailored to meet your child’s individual needs, helping both their physical abilities and emotional health flourish.
What Conditions Are Treated?
Cleft Lip and Palate
Cleft lip and palate are common congenital conditions where the upper lip and/or the roof of the mouth do not fully develop. These conditions can impact feeding, speech, and facial growth. Dr Alnabi offers surgical repairs to help restore proper function and achieve natural-looking results. These procedures are often part of a collaborative care plan involving speech and dental specialists, ensuring comprehensive support for your needs.
Ear Anomalies (e.g Microtia, Anotia, Ear Lobe Deformities)
Some children are born with underdeveloped or missing outer ears (microtia or anotia), or with minor differences in their ear lobes. Dr Alnabi provides reconstructive procedures that help improve both the shape and symmetry, often using the child’s own tissue or prosthetic frameworks, depending on what is best for their age and condition.
Hand Congenital Anomalies
Conditions such as syndactyly (fused fingers), polydactyly (extra digits), or other hand differences can affect a child’s ability to grasp, play, and connect with their surroundings. Paediatric hand surgery aims to enhance both how the hand looks and how it works, helping children grow up feeling more confident and independent.
Skin Moles and Lesions
Congenital moles, birthmarks, or skin growths may need surgical removal for cosmetic reasons or if there’s a risk of changes over time. Dr Alnabi provides safe, child-friendly excision techniques with minimal scarring and age-appropriate care.
Post-Trauma Reconstruction
Injuries from falls, accidents, or lacerations may sometimes require surgery to help restore your appearance and mobility. Dr Alnabi cares for a wide range of children’s soft tissue and bone injuries, always with a gentle touch that focuses on healing, minimising scars, and supporting age-appropriate recovery.
Post-Burn Care and Scar Management
Burn injuries in children can lead to scarring, contractures, or limited movement. Dr Alnabi offers both immediate and delayed surgical treatments for burn injuries, aiming to minimise scarring, restore function, and enhance comfort as your child develops.
What to Expect
Paediatric surgery combines medical planning with emotional care. Dr Alnabi takes a thorough, family-centred approach, starting with a comprehensive assessment to prepare your child for surgery. He may work with your child’s paediatrician, therapist, or specialist to ensure a safe, smooth experience.
You will get instructions on fasting, medications, and what to bring. Parents are advised on how to emotionally prepare their child with age-appropriate, calming explanations. Every effort is made to ensure a reassuring experience supporting your child’s comfort and your peace of mind.
