Oral and maxillofacial surgery in children treats congenital and acquired malformations such as cleft lip and palate. Our interdisciplinary team works closely together to achieve the best possible result for every treatment. We benefit from the support of the Botnar Research Centre for Child Health and intensive dialogue with international specialist clinics. Since 1991, we in Basel have been using the innovative "one-stage" closure for unilateral cleft lip and palate in order to enable children to optimise the function of their mouth and nose at an early stage.
As a centre, we also offer our expertise to the Aarau Cantonal Hospital and the St Elisabethen Hospital Lörrach and form a supra-regional supply network with them.
