The aim of plastic surgery in children with Down-syndrome is the improvement of speech as well as improvement of cosmetic appearance. Altering the typical mongoloid physiognomy facilitates the integration of these children into the community. In our Department during the past 6 months plastic surgery was performed in 27 children for the correction of macroglossia, saddle nose deformity, epicanthic folds, receding chin, fatty neck and deformity of the ears. Macroglossia was present in every case, the extent of further surgery varies according to the clinical deformity. It is essential to discuss the implications of surgery in these children with the parents in order to avoid later disappointment.
唐氏综合征患儿进行整形手术的目的是改善语音以及改善容貌。改变典型的蒙古人种相貌有助于这些儿童融入社会。在过去6个月里，我们科室对27名儿童进行了整形手术，以矫正巨舌症、鞍鼻畸形、内眦赘皮、下颌后缩、脂肪性颈部和耳部畸形。每例均存在巨舌症，进一步手术的范围根据临床畸形情况而异。为避免日后失望，与这些患儿的家长讨论手术的影响至关重要。
