Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the Command hospital in Lucknow had successfully performed a rare surgery on a newborn child suffering from a rare disorder called Pierre Robin sequence (PRS). PRS is one such rare disorder where the lower jaw is very small, along with cleft of the palate, allowing for uncomfortable breathing of the child. Children with such critical birth conditions rarely make it to their first birthday if not treated promptly.
PRS affects one in 60,000 live births. They develop pneumonia and other respiratory conditions, which makes survival difficult. The hospital saw one such case that was transferred from a primary hospital to the Command hospital in Lucknow.
