Overview

Corrective surgery can be performed for correction of congenital abnormalities.

Surgery

corrective surgery is indicated for the correction of any congenital abnormalities before the start of steroid, if possible, to facilitate adequate wound healing. If the patient is already on steroid therapy, surgical intervention can be delayed, where feasible, until the patient is off steroid therapy or on the lowest possible dose.
