What Are Birth Defects?

Birth defects are structural abnormalities present at birth that can affect various parts of the body, including the face, limbs, hands, feet, and internal organs. These defects may result from genetic factors, environmental influences, or unknown causes. While some birth defects are mild and may not require intervention, others can severely impact a person’s quality of life.

Common Birth Defects Treated at Bembde Hospital

One of the most common congenital deformities, a cleft lip or palate occurs when the facial structures do not fuse properly during fetal development. This can result in speech difficulties, feeding problems, and facial asymmetry. Our surgical approach includes:

  • Primary Cleft Lip Repair: Restoring normal lip structure and function.
  • Palatoplasty: Reconstructing the roof of the mouth to improve speech and feeding.
  • Secondary Procedures: To refine aesthetics and correct residual deformities.

Some children are born with hand deformities, including:

  • Syndactyly (Fused Fingers): Corrected through surgical separation and skin grafting.
  • Polydactyly (Extra Fingers): Removal of supernumerary digits while preserving functionality.
  • Radial Club Hand: Corrective osteotomies and tendon transfers to improve alignment and grip strength.

These defects involve abnormal growth of the skull and facial bones, affecting appearance and function. Procedures include:

  • Craniosynostosis Correction: Repositioning skull bones to allow normal brain growth.
  • Hemifacial Microsomia Reconstruction: Using bone grafts and soft tissue flaps to restore symmetry.
  • Ear Reconstruction (Microtia): Building a new ear framework from rib cartilage or synthetic materials.
  • Clubfoot: Corrected using tendon releases and casting techniques.
  • Congenital Limb Deficiency: Managed through prosthetics and limb-lengthening surgeries.
  • Amniotic Band Syndrome: Addressed by releasing constriction rings and reconstructing affected digits.
  • Hypospadias Repair: Correcting the urethral opening to improve urinary and sexual function.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


While many birth defects can be significantly improved or corrected through surgery, some may require multiple procedures or combined therapies to achieve optimal outcomes. The success rate largely depends on the severity and type of defect.


Early intervention is crucial for most birth defects, especially those affecting function and development. Surgery for conditions like cleft lip and palate is typically performed in infancy or early childhood.


Like any surgical procedure, risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, and anesthesia-related complications. Our team employs state-of-the-art techniques and strict safety protocols to minimize risks.


Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and the patient’s overall health. Some procedures may require several weeks of healing and rehabilitation.


In many cases, particularly with complex deformities, staged surgeries are necessary to achieve the best functional and aesthetic outcomes. Your surgeon will discuss the treatment plan and timeline in detail during the consultation.
