Overview
Paediatric Craniofacial Surgery is one of the few dedicated divisions in the state of Kerala and the country, treating craniofacial problems (abnormal shape of child’s head and face) in kids. The treatment involves reconstructive surgeries to preserve or restore brain function (by reducing pressure on brain and airway issues) and improve aesthetics/appearance of the face.
