Craniomaxillofacial Surgery in India  

Craniomaxillofacial surgery is a specialized branch of medicine that deals with all the conditions affecting the skull, face, jaws, and associated structures. At Gleneagles Hospitals, we treat complex craniofacial issues with advanced care in a comprehensive manner tailored to individual needs. Our multidisciplinary team, supported by cutting-edge technology and modern infrastructure, ensures a high standard of care to provide the highest quality cranial maxillofacial surgery in India.

Craniomaxillofacial surgery treats a vast number of conditions, both congenital and acquired deformities, as well as other forms of traumatic injuries.

  • Cleft Lip and Palate: A type of congenital condition with holes or gaps in either the upper lip or hard palate of the mouth and may cause speech, eating, and social problems.
  • Craniosynostosis: The bones in a baby's skull fuse too early, leading to an abnormal head shape and possible issues in brain development.
  • Facial Trauma: Injuries to the face or skull resulting from accidents, falls, or sports-related injuries that may require reconstruction to restore function and aesthetics.
  • Facial Tumours: Benign and malignant tumours in the craniofacial region requiring accurate surgical intervention to remove and reconstruct affected areas.
  • Maxillofacial Deformities: Conditions of jaw or facial bones that interfere with functioning, for example, chewing or speaking, and even appearance.
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Conditions involving airway blockage, which can be treated through surgical procedures in the jaw or soft palate.
  • Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders: Conditions affecting the jaw joint, which causes pain and dysfunction, treated either through surgical or non-surgical means.
