Maxillofacial surgery is a branch of clinical medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of various diseases, pathological conditions, anomalies in the areas of the head (mainly the face, jaws, oral cavity) and neck.
Treatment of injuries, deformations and diseases of the jaws, face and adjacent tissues. This surgery is usually performed using microscopes, endoscopes, and other specialized tools that allow the surgeon to work with precision and minimal damage to the surrounding tissue. Procedures that may be performed by a maxillofacial surgeon include correcting malocclusion, repairing broken bones, and removing tumors.

All surgical interventions in the specified area are modulated before the operation due to photo modeling and 3D printing.
We perform the entire necessary set of surgical interventions at the same time.
We actively cooperate with partner clinics in implantology.

in the case of taking any drugs, inform the doctor about it and agree with him (it may be necessary to limit them or change the dose, regimen)
for a few days before the operation, follow a gentle diet, water-drinking regime; if there is constipation, take laxatives, use enemas and do not drink alcoholic beverages – so that the body reacts more adequately and predictably to anesthesia and other drugs
refrain from eating for 6–12 hours before the operation, and for 2–4 hours also do not drink, do not use chewing gum, do not smoke – to prevent stomach contents from entering the respiratory organs during anesthesia
on the day of the operation, take a shower, cleanse the intestines with an enema – so that during anesthesia, due to the relaxation of the sphincters, feces do not come out involuntarily
immediately before the operation:
removable objects (piercing jewelry, prostheses) should be removed from the oral cavity and face – so that during the operation they do not accidentally enter the respiratory organs or interfere with the surgical intervention; remove other items (contact lenses, hearing aids, jewelry) – so that they do not accidentally injure the body and do not get spoiled; cosmetic products (makeup, nail polish, artificial nails) should be removed from the body – to facilitate visual assessment of the body's condition and automated registration using medical equipment; empty the bladder and, if necessary, the intestine – so that this does not happen involuntarily during anesthesia; changing into special clothes, which are given in the clinic
addition, other preparatory measures may be carried out taking into account the individual characteristics of the organism and the specifics of the surgical intervention
The main stages:
or escorted on foot. In the airlock room, a medical cap and shoe covers are put on (to prevent microorganisms from entering the air of the operating room).
of a certain composition, taking into account the specifics of each operation
(depending on the specifics of the operation, the position of the body may differ), fixed to it with special straps.
a vein puncture on the hand, installs a catheter to administer the necessary drugs, installs electrodes on the body to monitor the electrical activity of the heart, puts a tonometer cuff on the shoulder, and a sensor to determine the oxygen content in the blood. All this is necessary for continuous monitoring of the body's condition during anesthesia and surgery.
depends on the specific task, the part of the body on which the intervention is carried out, corresponds to the features of the selected surgical tactics, technique.
After surgery, the patient wakes up in the ward for postoperative observation. If necessary, oxygen can be supplied through a thin tube to provide the body with a sufficient amount of oxygen. The nurse will carefully monitor the condition of the body and, if necessary, apply drugs agreed with the doctor.
Before patient’s return home, the doctor will examine the areas where the intervention was performed, agree on the tactics of further rehabilitation, give additional advice.

Maxillofacial surgeon treats pathologies of the bones of the facial skeleton: congenital defects, acquired defects (cracks, fractures, other injuries), inflammatory diseases, neoplasms, etc. A specialist can not only restore the functionality lost due to a pathological condition, but also recreate the appearance.
A maxillofacial surgeon consult in case of: pronounced injuries in the face area, persistent pain (constant or during chewing, biting), local swelling, bleeding, bite disorders after injuries in the absence of an effect from orthodontic treatment, etc. Jaw surgery may be performed. Maxillofacial surgery and maxillofacial traumatology deal with this.
The guarantee for surgical treatment of the jaw refers to the proper performance of services, high-tech diagnostics, treatment, high qualification of specialists, implants and other medical consumables and equipment.
Preparation for operations on the maxillofacial area includes a preliminary examination and consultation by a maxillofacial surgeon, a comprehensive examination, with photo and video analysis of appearance, anthropometry, consultation of related specialists (if necessary), etc. Immediately before the operation, the principles of preparation do not differ significantly from those generally accepted in surgery.
Possible complications after surgery include general surgical ones (bleeding and thrombosis, infectious-inflammatory conditions, etc.) and more specific to this field (postoperative defects, non-union of bones, etc.). Careful preparation for the operation, highly qualified and experienced medical staff, modern high-tech equipment and coordinated work of the medical team and other staff of the clinic minimize the risk of complications.
Contraindications to maxillofacial surgery are conditions, the severity of which critically increases the risks of surgical treatment, for example, infectious, mental, gastrointestinal diseases.
