There are a series of injuries (dermoid cyst, vestibular frenum, lingual frenum, stick out ears, preauricular appendages, preauricular fistula, media cervical fissure, cystic cervical lymphangioma, branchial fistulas and cysts, thyroglossal cyst, polythelia, pectus excavatum, pectus carinatum, umbilical hernia, epigastric hernia, umbilical granuloma, inguinal hernia, hydrocele, cryptorchidism, varicocele, phymosis, vulvar synechia, imperforated hymen, hydrometrocolpos, Skene cysts, urethral prolapse, hymen caruncules, botyroid sarcoma, etc.) where the diagnosis is essentially visual and may require surgical treatment. We consider their characteristics for the clinical diagnosis and whether the treatment should be surgical or not, which is the most suitable for each of them, as well as the ideal time for the operation.
