Overview

This is the final volume in an interdisciplinary three-book series covering the full range of biological, clinical, and surgical aspects in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with craniofacial malformations. In this volume, all key operations from early infancy to adulthood employed in the treatment of different malformations – craniosynostoses, orofacial-clefts, branchio-oculo-facial syndromes, dysgnathia, rare syndromes, soft tissue malformations – are described in detail. All operations are depicted in a step by step manner through of a wealth of high-quality intraoperative photos and related illustrations. In addition, operations are discussed in light of the recent state of various other surgical techniques.
