Submit Abstract Register Now

Craniofacial surgery is a subspecialty of surgery involving the surgery of foetuses, infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. It is an abnormality of the head and facial bones that is present at birth. These anomalies range from mild to very serious. A congenital abnormality can significantly impact a child’s social, psychological and emotional well-being if left untreated. Advances in anaesthesia, surgical techniques, and technology have enhanced the good outcomes and safety. Craniofacial surgery has thus emerged from the valuable contributions of neurosurgery, plastic surgery, occuloplastic, ENT, and head and neck surgery. Teaming of such disciplines helped us to establish a credible unit with ample clinical opportunity.
