Oral Maxillofacial (OMF) Operations is a highly specialized branch of surgery dedicated to the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries, and defects involving the functional and aesthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity, head, face, neck, and jaws. Purohit Hospital offers this crucial surgical discipline, addressing complex issues ranging from facial trauma to corrective jaw surgery.

Key Areas of Focus in OMF Surgery

OMF surgeons are unique as they are often required to manage both dental/oral issues and complex facial structures. At Purohit Hospital, the scope of ORAL MAXILLOFACIAL OPERATIONS includes:

1. Dentoalveolar Surgery:

   • This covers routine surgical procedures within the mouth, such as complex wisdom teeth extraction, the removal of impacted teeth, treatment of oral infections, and surgical preparations for dentures.

2. Facial Trauma Surgery:

   • A major area of OMF, dealing with the repair of facial fractures (jaw, cheekbone, eye socket, nose) and the treatment of severe soft tissue injuries resulting from accidents or trauma. The goal is to restore both function and appearance.

3. Corrective Jaw (Orthognathic) Surgery:

   • Procedures designed to correct significant skeletal and dental irregularities, such as misaligned jaws (underbite or overbite), which can affect chewing, speaking, and breathing.

4. Pathology and Reconstruction:

   • Surgical removal of cysts, tumors, and other growths in the mouth, jaw, and salivary glands. Following removal, the surgeon may perform reconstructive procedures to restore the appearance and function of the area.

5. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders:

   • Surgical treatment for chronic pain and dysfunction of the joints connecting the jawbone to the skull.

6. Dental Implants:

   • The surgical placement of dental implants to replace missing teeth, often involving bone grafting procedures to prepare the jawbone.

Seamless Care and Surgical Environment

The delicate and visible nature of OMF operations demands the highest standards of surgical precision and post-operative care.

• Modern Facilities: These complex surgeries are performed in Purohit Hospital’s Modern Operation Theatre, which is equipped to handle supra-major surgeries and ensure maximum safety and precision for the intricate structures of the face and mouth.

• Aesthetic and Functional Focus: OMF surgeons collaborate to ensure that procedures meet both the functional necessity (like chewing and speaking) and the aesthetic goals of the patient. This often involves coordination with the Plastic Surgery Operations department.
