Pediatric Craniofacial Surgery

Pediatric craniofacial surgery is a specialized branch of surgery that focuses on treating children with abnormalities related to the bones of the skull and face. These abnormalities can be congenital (present at birth), such as cleft lips or palates, or due to trauma or disease. The goal of these surgeries is to correct physical deformities, improve function (like breathing or eating), and enhance appearance. Surgeons often work in teams with other specialists to ensure comprehensive care for the child, addressing both medical and emotional needs as they grow.
