Crano Maxillo-Facial Surgery

Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery is a specialized field of surgery that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of conditions affecting the bones, soft tissues, and structures of the head, face, and neck. This includes disorders involving the skull, jaw, face, and associated soft tissues. Common conditions treated by cranio-maxillofacial surgeons include:
Facial Trauma – Treatment of fractures or injuries to the face, jaw, or skull caused by accidents, falls, or violence.
Cleft Lip and Palate – Surgical repair of congenital deformities in the lip and palate.
Jaw and Facial Deformities – Corrective surgery for conditions like misalignment of the jaw or congenital facial abnormalities.
Tumors – Removal of benign or malignant tumors from the face, jaw, or skull.
Reconstructive Surgery – Restoring function and appearance after accidents, diseases, or surgeries, such as with bone grafts or implants.
TMJ Disorders – Surgical treatment for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, which can affect jaw movement.
Cranio-maxillofacial surgeons work closely with other medical specialists, including orthodontists, plastic surgeons, and neurosurgeons, to address complex issues related to facial and skull structure, often using advanced techniques like microvascular surgery, bone grafting, and 3D imaging for precise treatment planning.
