Cleft palate is among the most common birth defects affecting children in North America. The incomplete formation of the roof of the mouth can occur individually, or in addition to cleft lip. Cleft palate repair is a type of plastic surgery to correct this abnormal development both to restore function and a more normal appearance. This video explains what to expect for families scheduled for cleft palate surgery at the Craniofacial Anomalies Program at University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital.

Cushing syndrome occurs when your body is exposed to high levels of the hormone cortisol for a long time. Cushing syndrome, sometimes called hypercortisolism, may be caused by the use of oral corticosteroid medication. The condition can also occur when your body makes too much cortisol on its own. Too much cortisol can produce some of the hallmark signs of Cushing syndrome — a fatty hump between your shoulders, a rounded face, and pink or purple stretch marks on your skin. Cushing syndrome can also result in high blood pressure, bone loss and, on occasion, type 2 diabetes. Treatments for Cushing syndrome can return your body's cortisol production to normal and noticeably improve your symptoms. The earlier treatment begins, the better your chances for recovery.

This surgical animation is for patient education and describes a laparoscopic colectomy, which is a type of minimally invasive surgery for colon cancer. Laparoscopic colectomy, also called minimally invasive colectomy, involves several small incisions in your abdomen. Instead of a big incision, the surgeon makes a few small cuts (0.5-1 centimeters) in the abdominal cavity to insert a surgical camera and instruments and perform the operation. A slightly bigger incision, about 3.5 centimeters wide, is made to remove the tumor.

When compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic colectomy can result in much less pain and swifter recovery. Depending on the procedure, most laparoscopic colectomy patients leave the hospital and return to normal activities more quickly than patients recovering from open surgery.
