Medical Conditions

Maxillofacial Trauma

Maxillofacial Oncology

Maxillofacial (or facial) trauma is physical trauma caused to the face. This covers

fractures of the bones like the jaw and nose, burns and lacerations to soft tissue and

trauma to the eye. These can cause pain, swelling and disfigurement. As the face is

the most openly viewed part of the body, disfigurement to it can cause deep

depression and a host of psychological issues. Quality of life is impacted both on the

physical and the emotional level. Trauma to the face can also be life-threatening since

it can impact the airways.

Facial injuries are of several types. They range from severe injuries to the skin and

bones of the face to severe tooth injury. They are classified as bony injuries

(fractures), soft tissue injuries (skin and gums) and injuries to special regions (eyes,

salivary glands, facial nerves and so on).

Some of the most common causes of injuries to the face are automobile

accidents and violence.

Treatments & Procedures

Maxillofacial Surgeons

Maxillofacial surgeons at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital use a host of cutting-edge

surgical techniques allied with technology to help patients who are afflicted by

trauma to the facial region. Soft tissue injuries like lacerations are typically repaired

by the use of stitches. While doing so, great care is taken to ensure preservation of

facial nerves, glands and ducts. Bone injuries are treated depending on their severity.

Since a fracture to the face cannot be repaired using a cast, the region needs to be

stabilised using other methods. Wiring the jaws is one such option. Another is the

strategic placement of screws and plates which has hastened recovery times in

modern times. Where incisions are required, they are kept to a minimal size to

prevent scarification.

Maxillofacial surgeons are qualified both in dentistry and medicine and this allows

them to adeptly treat trauma to the dental structure as well. A host of cancers affect

the mouth region. The best maxillofacial surgeon in coimbatore work with

oncologists and other specialists to treat cancer through surgery. The maxillofacial

surgeon has in-depth training and education in treating skin, bone, muscle, cartilage

and so on. This allows perspective of both function and form while carrying out

surgical treatment.

Today’s technology puts advanced biomedical devices and materials at

the maxillofacial surgeon’s disposal. Allied with modern techniques such

as minimally invasive surgery, the patient’s outlook is better than ever.
