What happens during and after a traumatic laceration repair?

When it is a deep tear, multi-layer suturing under local pain relief (anaesthesia) with sedation or general anaesthesia is needed in an uncooperative child. When the wound is shallow, it may be able to close in one layer, either with tissue glue or sutures. This can be done under local anaesthesia alone or combined with general anaesthesia.

Surgery

Your child’s wound is washed clean and closed with dissolvable sutures in layers, in a tension free repair. Depending on the depth and severity of the wound, antibiotics and anti-teta**s toxoid will be given to your child.

After the operation

Your child may shower normally. Painkiller medications should be taken for the first 2 days and as when needed after that. Wound strength will be developing over the next few weeks, hence avoid things that may disrupt it, for example swimming and exercise, for at least 4 weeks. It is important to contact your doctor if there is wound swelling, pain, redness or abnormal discharge. There is a risk of scarring with keloid and hypertrophic scar formation, especially if the child’s parents or siblings have it. This can be treated with good outcome if detected.

Laceration Repair Children may be injured in an accident at home or outdoors. A laceration is a tear / deep

Why is there a swelling in my child’s inner lip?
A swelling in a child’s inner lip or mouth is commonly a mucocele. Other causes include malformation, dermoid cyst or rarely, tumor. It is important to note the onset, frequency, duration of the swelling and symptoms such as pain or bleeding to aid the diagnosis. The swelling should be evaluated by a paediatric surgeon or pediatric dentist.

What is a mucocele?
A mucocele or mucous cyst is a collection of mucous due to trauma or obstruction to the minor salivary duct. This may be due to habitual biting of the lip or misaligned teeth causing trauma to the mucous membrane. It may involve the floor of the mouth, with resultant extension into the neck, called a “Plunging Ranula.”

When should a mucocele be excised?
As the swelling grows bigger, it may ulcerate, causing pain and bleeding. When symptoms persist, treatment options are, excision, marsupialization or repeated steroid injections. I prefer excision to completely remove the involved minor salivary gland and duct(s). This prevents recurrence of the mucous cyst.

Hypospadias and Chordee Repair

Hypospadias is an anomaly of the p***s comprising excess curvature (chordee), a hooded appearance of the fo****in, deficient fo****in on the bottom side of the p***s and an abnormal urinary tract opening. It is one of the most common congenital anomaly and causes spraying of urine (this wets the pants when the child is standing to p*e) and curved er****on (chordee which may be painful).
