Children
may be born with a variety of abnormalities. Most of them can be corrected by
a highly experienced pediatric surgeon who knows how to confirm the diagnosis,
prepare the tiny infant for surgery, perform the delicate operation, and provide
intensive post-operative care. Examples include intestinal blockages, lack of
an anal opening, incomplete formation of the esophagus, hernia of abdominal
organs through a hole in the diaphragm, and a large hernia of intestine in to
the umbilical cord. Many of the problems are very rare, and developing the skills
to care for such infants takes many years. Dr. Liebert has performed major corrective
surgery on premature infants as small as 1 pound, 5 ounces.
