Craniofacial Surgery
The focus of the surgical
specialty known as craniofacial surgery is deformities of the head, skull,
face, neck, jaws, and associated tissues that are congenital or acquired.
Although bone manipulation is frequently a component of craniofacial treatment,
craniofacial
surgery works with bone, skin, nerve, muscle, teeth, and
other associated anatomy.
Apert's syndrome,
Crouzon's syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome, isolated and syndromic
craniosynostosis, unusual craniofacial clefts, cleft
lip
and palate, micrognathia, numerous congenital ear abnormalities, microtia, and
many more are among the ailments that craniofacial surgeons frequently treat.
