Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Craniofacial surgery represents a complicated challenge for surgeons, especially due to the impact of the face region on individuals’ social life.
The pathologies that may require craniofacial surgery are innumerable; just think of the global burden of birth defects, such as clefts and craniostenosis, that involve a team of various specialties.
However, the challenges are not limited to congenital and malformation surgery in this Special Issue, and we must also consider traumatic pathologies and reconstructive surgery after tumor exision. The restoration of masticatory, swallowing and phonatory functions is essential in order to enable the patient to continue a normal life, without neglecting the importance of achieving a good aesthetic result. In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on the new surgical and aesthetic techniques aimed at restoring facial functions and aesthetics for patients suffering from pathologies of the craniofacial district.
We look forward to receiving your submissions to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Paola Bonavolonta
Guest Editor
