In this volume, readers will find detailed discussion of the treatment principles for craniosynostoses, orofacial clefts, branchio-oculo-facial syndromes, soft tissue malformations, dysgnathia and rare syndromes. In addition to description of important facets of treatment and the treatment planning process, guidance is offered on diagnosis and disease classification. Featuring numerous high-quality illustrations, the book will be of value for all clinicians and trainees who are involved in the management of patients with these malformations. The accompanying two volumes discuss the biological basis of disease, psychological aspects, and diagnostic issues and present surgical techniques with the aid of accompanying surgical videos.
