Can you say goodbye to the harelip as a birth defect and go home like a normal child after only one week of birth? This reporter learned from Professor Ouyang Tianxiang of the Plastic Surgery Department of Xinhua Hospital that from this year, harelip treatment can be “speeded up” and the child can receive plastic surgery through the green channel after birth. Yesterday, Shunshun (a pseudonym) said goodbye to the congenital deformity on the 9th day of life, becoming the first harelip baby to say goodbye to the defect at a faster pace this year. When she was 6 months pregnant, Shunshun’s mother got the bad news during an ultrasound, and the doctor told her that the baby in her belly had a harelip. Shunshun’s mother told the reporter that our hearts were very heavy at that time, and we were more hesitant. In the end, the whole family decided to keep him. Shunshun was born successfully, and the family was waiting for a surgery that would bring hope to the whole family immediately afterwards. Yesterday, Shunshun’s surgery went very well. A week later, Shunshun will be able to be discharged from the hospital. Not only Shunshun, but more and more babies will be able to get on the harelip speed-up treatment express and say goodbye to harelip immediately after birth. Currently, many hospitals have a direct interface between plastic surgery and obstetrics. Once a baby with a harelip is identified, the plastic surgeon will intervene early to develop a treatment plan when the mother is six or seven months pregnant. Once the baby is born with stable signs in all areas, the baby is operated on. The newborn baby’s skin heals very well and the scarring response to the incision is minimal, making it easier to eliminate the effects of the congenital deformity.
