Maxillofacial Surgery
Maxillofacial surgery is a branch of medicine that specializes in the surgical treatment of a wide range of diseases, injuries, and congenital anomalies affecting the facial area, jaws, oral cavity, and neck. This discipline combines the principles of reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, aiming not only to restore functionality but also to improve patients' appearance.
General Overview of the Specialty
Maxillofacial surgery deals with the treatment of various pathologies of the jaws and facial region that may result from trauma, diseases, or congenital defects. Key areas of the field include reconstructive surgery, aimed at restoring lost functions and aesthetic features, and oncological surgery, which involves the removal of benign and malignant tumors.
The specialty also includes correction of jaw and facial bone anomalies, treatment of salivary gland diseases and dentoalveolar conditions, and addressing the consequences of trauma—such as jaw fractures or soft tissue damage. Specialists in this field use advanced surgical techniques, enabling patients to regain both functional and aesthetic aspects of their faces and return to full social activity.
History of Maxillofacial Surgery
Maxillofacial surgery began developing in the late 19th century, when doctors recognized the need for a specialized approach to treating facial and jaw injuries and diseases. Key milestones in the field's evolution include advancements in anesthesia, surgical techniques, and the development of new technologies such as X-rays and CT scans. During the 20th century, the specialty gained wide recognition, and surgical procedures became significantly safer and more effective.
In Russia, maxillofacial surgery began to develop in the mid-20th century and has continued to improve, offering high-quality treatment across various domains—from plastic surgery to tumor management. Today, Russian maxillofacial surgeons actively use cutting-edge treatment methods, including microsurgery, implantology, and computer modeling.
