European Society of Craniofacial Surgery (ESCFS)

The European Society of Craniofacial Surgery (ESCFS) is constituted by most of the different medical teams performing craniofacial surgery in Europe. Each team typically is headed by a craniofacial surgeon (plastic, maxillofacial or neurosurgeon) and usually further includes pediatric anesthesiologists, facial specialists (such as orthodontist, ophthalmologist, ENT), and also geneticist and psychologist. This multidisciplinary approach is a fundamental requirement to be able to adequately treat the complex congenital craniofacial malformations, as well as patients with facial trauma and tumors.
