Surgery & Anesthesia

Craniofacial surgery is the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery and plastic and reconstructive surgery that deals with congenital and acquired deformities of the skull, head, neck, face, jaws and associated structures. Though craniofacial treatment frequently comprises manipulation of bone, craniofacial surgery is not tissue-specific. Craniofacial surgeons deal with skin, bone, muscle, nerve, teeth, and other related anatomy. Defects typically treated by craniofacial surgeons include rare craniofacial clefts, cleft lip and palate, craniosynostosis, acute and chronic sequellae of facial fractures, micrognathia, Treacher Collins Syndrome, Apert's Syndrome, Craniofacial microsomal, Crouzon's Syndrome, microtia and other congenital ear anomalies, and many others
