Pediatric Cleft and Craniofacial Surgery

Pediatric cleft and craniofacial surgery focuses on correcting congenital deformities in children, particularly cleft lips and palates, as well as various skull and facial abnormalities. These conditions can affect a child's ability to eat, speak, and breathe, as well as their overall appearance. Surgeons work collaboratively with a team of specialists to plan and perform reconstructive surgeries that improve function and aesthetics. The goal is to enhance the child's quality of life by fostering normal development and helping them thrive both physically and socially. This surgical intervention is often part of a long-term care plan for affected children.
