Congenital Anomalies

Comprehensive Treatment for Congenital Anomalies

Congenital anomalies, also known as birth defects, can be structural or functional anomalies that occur during fetal development. These conditions may be caused by genetic factors, environmental influences, or a combination of both (multifactorial birth defects). In many cases, the exact cause remains unknown.

At Swastika Hospital, we specialize in the surgical correction of various structural congenital anomalies through timely intervention. Our team of plastic surgeons is experienced in treating a wide range of birth defects, helping children achieve improved function and appearance.
