PROCEDURES
Our surgical teams and administrators identify the patients we can safely help and then begin the process of transforming lives with life-altering, lifesaving surgeries.
maxillofacial SURGERY
Surgeries specialising in treating many diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the oral (mouth) and maxillofacial (jaws and face) region.
​
Defects typically treated are deformities from impacted teeth, dental implants, jaw and congenital facial disproportion, facial trauma, oral cancer, salivary gland disease, temporomandibular joint disorders, and various benign pathologies (eg. cysts and tumours of the jaws).
Craniofacial surgery
Surgeries that deal with congenital and acquired deformities of the head, skull, face, neck, jaws and associated structures.
​
Although craniofacial treatment often involves manipulation of bone, craniofacial surgery is not tissue-specific; craniofacial surgeons deal with bone, skin, nerve, muscle, teeth, and other related anatomy.
​
Defects typically treated by craniofacial surgeons include craniosynostosis (isolated and syndromic), rare craniofacial clefts, acute and chronic sequellae of facial fractures, cleft lip and palate, micrognathia, Treacher Collins Syndrome, Apert's Syndrome, Crouzon's Syndrome, Craniofacial microsomia, microtia and other congenital ear anomalies, and many others.
Reconstructive Plastic Surgery
-
Feet and Hand: for people affected by any number of maladies, including tumors (cancerous and non-cancerous) and webbed or extra toes or fingers. People also can receive treatment for Carpal tunnel syndrome
-
Wound care: for individuals who have been severely burned or cut, skin grafts or other reconstructive techniques are available.
-
Microsurgery or flap procedures: to replace parts of the body affected by injury or disease, such as cancer.
-
Facial surgeries: to correct facial defects such as cleft lip, breathing problems such as snoring, or chronic infections, such as those that affect the sinuses.
-
Scalp reconstruction: for scalp defects. Scalp defects may be partial or full thickness and can be congenital or acquired. Because not all layers of the scalp are elastic and the scalp has a convex shape, the use of primary closure is limited. The choice for a reconstruction depends on multiple factors, such as the defect itself, the patient characteristics and surgeon preference.
