Some Relevant Insights:
A Maxillo-Facial Surgeon at Mediclinic specializes in surgical procedures related to the face, mouth, jaws, and neck. This field combines expertise from both medicine and dentistry to address a wide range of conditions. Here’s what these surgeons do and why their role is critical:
Complex Surgical Expertise: Maxillo-Facial Surgeons perform surgeries for a variety of conditions, including impacted teeth (like wisdom teeth removal), misaligned jaws, and facial trauma resulting from accidents. They also treat tumors and cysts of the jaw and mouth, and perform reconstructive surgery for patients with congenital facial deformities or those needing rehabilitation after cancer surgery.

Oral Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment: Maxillo-Facial Surgeons play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating oral cancers. They perform biopsies to diagnose cancer and can carry out surgical procedures to remove cancerous tissues, often working closely with oncologists for comprehensive cancer care.
Correction of Jaw Disorders: For patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders or other jaw-related issues, these surgeons provide treatments that can range from minimally invasive procedures to complex surgery. They address functional concerns, such as difficulty in chewing or jaw pain, improving patients’ quality of life.
