In total 111 patients were operated, of which 73 younger than 18 years old and 38 adults. For the larger part the operations regarded contractures, open burn wounds, tumors/keloids and a number of cleft surgeries.
Many patients were referred to an Orthopedist or to the mission in March 2019, when a PediatricUrologist will join us. We have already scheduled 60 patients for surgery. „
