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.

Treatments Provided

We are one of the leading facial surgery hospitals in India, providing advanced treatments and surgical procedures for cranio-maxillofacial conditions.

Orthognathic Surgery: This surgery corrects jaw malposition to treat conditions like a misaligned bite, jaw deformities, and functional issues with chewing and speaking.
Facial Reconstruction Surgery: Post-trauma or tumour removal surgeries aimed at facial form and function recovery.
Cranial Reconstruction: This procedure is for people with conditions such as craniosynostosis in which the skull is reshaped to allow the growth of the brain inside to be expected and for the correct head shape.
Cleft Lip and Palate Repair: Multistage procedures to close gaps in the lip and palate enhance speaking, eating, and even facial appearance.
Maxillofacial Deformity Surgery: Procedures to correct irregularities of the jaws and facial bones, including aesthetic and functional improvement.

Procedures Performed in Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery

Treatment of conditions affecting the cranial (skull) and maxillofacial (face and jaws) areas is the goal of a variety of surgical procedures performed in craniomaxillofacial surgery. Professionals in the field of CranioMaxillofacial Surgery perform these surgeries to rectify abnormalities, reinstate functionality, and enhance appearance. Some common craniomaxillofacial surgeries include:

This is a corrective surgery to realign the jaws, to address issues like bite misalignment, TMJ disorders, and facial asymmetry. This procedure aims to enhance function and facial harmony, often improving breathing, chewing, and speaking. Orthognathic surgery employs computer simulations and virtual planning to map out surgical movements, ensuring accuracy in correcting jaw misalignments.

This surgery is used for the restoration of facial features following trauma, tumour removal, or congenital abnormalities. It involves intricate surgeries to rebuild facial bones, tissues, and aesthetics, aiming to improve both function and appearance. Facial reconstruction procedures integrate innovative methods, such as tissue engineering and microsurgery to restore form and function of damaged areas.

This is a surgical intervention to address skull deformities, particularly in cases of craniosynostosis, where premature fusion of skull bones causes abnormal head shapes. This procedure aims to reshape the skull, allowing normal brain growth and improving appearance.

This procedure is a multistage surgery to close gaps in the lip and palate, enabling proper function in speech and eating, along with improved aesthetics. These surgeries often involve intricate techniques to reconstruct affected areas and promote normal development.

In-depth surgical repair for complicated craniofacial deformities brought on by birth defects or injuries. It entails a number of surgeries to address different anatomical problems with the face and skull.

This is a surgical treatment for a range of disorders affecting the orbit, such as tumours, congenital defects, and fractures. Both eye function and appearance are intended to be preserved or restored.
