Craniofacial surgery is a specialized area of facial surgery that deals with the management of congenital (at birth) deformities affecting the face. Defects typically treated by craniofacial surgeons include craniosynostosis (early fusion of skull sutures), rare facial clefts and various syndromic conditions affecting the face such as Cruzon Syndrome, Apert’s Syndrome, Treacher Collins Syndrome, Pierre Robin Syndrome, Hemifacial Microsomia and many others. Most patients with craniofacial deformities can be diagnosed at a very young age and if treated very early the outcomes are better.
At Faith, we almost treat the largest number of craniosynostosis patients in India. The multidisciplinary Craniofacial team consists of Craniofacial Surgeons, Neurosurgeons, Orthodontist, Pediatric Neurologist, Speech Pathologist and Geneticist.
Orthognathic Surgery is the surgical correction of the anomalies of the upper and lower jaws due to abnormal form, growth and relationships. Some jaw anomalies can also be caused by tempro-mandibular joint disorders, treatment of such deformities involves a combination of orthodontic treatment with braces and surgical correction of a complete lasting correction of the deformity. Treatment planning is done using advanced orthognathic treatment planning software platform from Dolphin Imagine where the patient can view his or her final facial appearance even before the treatment starts.
Orthomorphic Surgery is a one stage surgical procedure for correction of mandibular deformities.
Trauma or injuries to the head and face due to accidents or fights are the single largest cause of death worldwide. Those who manage to survive death due to trauma can end up with a gross facial deformity and suffer from social stigma. Most people are unaware that such deformities can be corrected using techniques from reconstructive as well as cosmetic surgery. At Faith, we also perform endoscope assisted minimally invasive surgery and navigation surgery to correct traumatic facial deformities.
Tempromandibular joint or the jaw joints have a very important role in the face. It is the only moving joint in the face and like the heart, the joints are constantly functioning throughout our lifetime. Without the jaw joints it would be impossible to talk or eat, therefore injuries to the jaw joint can lead to difficulty in talking and also eating. This can be caused either due to excessive wear and tear of direct injury to the joint, leading to a wide spectrum of disorders from ankylosis (fused jaw joints) to internal derangement of the joint. Ankylosis can also lead to significant facial deformity when untreated. Most patients do not seek treatment and go through great suffering and pain unnecessarily. TMJ disorders can be managed and corrected
At Faith Hospital our patients remain the center of all our endeavors as we evolve with changing times.
