Cranio Maxillofacial Surgery

Craniofacial Surgery deals with the treatment of complicated skull and facial anomalies, which can occur at birth or as a result of abnormal development or trauma. The difficulties can be significantly disfiguring, interfering with one's quality of life, and even potentially fatal. These operations can be critical in restoring function and appearance following trauma, congenital problems, or disease.

At Gleneagles Hospital, which is regarded as the leading Craniomaxillo facial surgery centre in Bangalore, we are committed to offering advanced and compassionate care to patients seeking specialised treatment in this field. A team of competent surgeons who prefer to offer the most optimum solutions and do it efficiently and incisively has made us a well-known name in Craniomaxillofacial surgery in the area.

Face Fractures

A face fracture occurs when a person breaks or cracks one of their facial bones, especially the nasal bone and cheekbone (zygomatic) or jawbone (mandible) or the bones surrounding the eyes (orbit). These injuries often occur due to:

  • Accidents, such as falls or car crashes, the bones in the facial structure deteriorate.
  • After engaging in high-impact sports, activity-related injuries appear.
  • Physical violence which uses blunt objects to strike the face causes these injuries.

Common Types of Face Fractures: 

  • Nasal Fractures: A broken or dislocated nose represents the highest incidence among all types of facial fractures.
  • Orbital Fractures: Orbital fractures create a serious risk to vision because they break structures around the eye sockets.
  • Zygomatic Fractures: Such injuries involve the cheekbone resulting in both face and chewing problems.
  • Maxillary Fractures: A break in the upper jaw results in dental misalignment while also affecting facial structure.
  • Mandibular Fractures: These fractures of the lower jaw cause excruciating pain that makes it difficult to communicate orally or to eat.

Advanced Surgical Procedures and Techniques

Facial Reconstruction

Facial reconstructive surgery consists of the procedures involved in the repair or restoration of face structures after accidents, diseases, or congenital defects. Modern surgical techniques aimed at delivering safe outcomes involve flap operations, grafting, and the use of implants.

Dentoalveolar Surgery

Surgeons who specialize in the surgery of the teeth, gums, and jaws make up this speciality. They are involved in removing teeth and the extraction of impacted teeth. Making use of dental implants with the hope of improving oral health and overall improvement in quality of life for the patient.

Minimally Invasive Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery:

In order to reduce recovery time and scarring while achieving comparable outcomes to standard operations, we use extremely advanced minimally invasive techniques with tiny incisions. It makes it possible to return to regular activities more quickly and with less pain.

Aesthetic Procedures

In addition to practical surgery, aesthetic procedures have been performed to improve the appearance of the face. In order to improve the appearance of the face, it involves surgeries like rhinoplasty or nose surgery, chin augmentation, brow lifts, and many more.

Endoscopic Procedures

Endoscopy is a modern approach involving using small ports and a camera to see and operate on the problem area. It helps to have a faster healing time and reduces the chances of complications that can be related to skull base tumours and sinus issues.

Post-Surgery Care and Rehabilitation

The recovery phase following cranio-maxillofacial surgery is equally crucial as the surgery itself. At Gleneagles Hospital, we offer thorough post-operative care, which includes:

  • Rehabilitation Programs: To assist you in regaining mobility and function, especially following traumatic or reconstructive procedures, our physiotherapists create personalised rehabilitation programs.
  • Psychological Support: The experience of having facial surgery can be emotionally taxing. Our counselling assists patients in managing their mental challenges and adjusting to changes in their physical appearance.
  • Follow-Up Care: Frequent follow-up appointments are required to assess the patient's progress, guarantee recovery, and make any necessary treatment modifications.
