Paediatric Maxillofacial Surgery

Cirurgia maxil·lofacial pediàtrica a Vall d'Hebron

The Paediatric Maxillofacial Surgery Unit is proud of its extensive experience in the treatment of complex cranioencephaly malformations. We should also highlight the treatment of paediatric maxilofacial tumours.

Description

Our team is made up of paediatric surgeons who are a part of the Paediatric Surgery Department, and surgeons from the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department.

One example of the work our team carries out is the application of nasoalveolar modelling (NAM) technique to treat children suffering from cleft lip and palate. This treatment is incorporated in the protocol of comprehensive treatment offered to such patients at our centre. This helps surgeons and improves the aesthetic and functional results of reconstructive surgery, as it reduces the severity of the deformity and can easily be carried out in the consultation in a way that is safe and pain-free.
