Craniofacial surgery is a new sub-specialty in the field of plastic reconstructive surgery and is dedicated to the treatment of severe cranial and facial malformations. Craniofacial surgery gradually started in Göteborg in the late 1970's and has been acting as the Scandinavian center since 1983. Over these 30 years an almost complete change in surgical techniques has evolved. Also profound changes in timing of surgery have followed. Results have been dramatically improved based on critical evaluation of standardized registration of long-term results. One of the most dramatic developments has been the introduction of implantable stainless steel springs. This has changed the treatment of Craniosynostosis completely and has made midfacial advancement procedures possible without relapse.
颅面外科是整形重建外科领域中的一个新的亚专业，致力于治疗严重的颅脑和面部畸形。颅面外科于20世纪70年代末在哥德堡逐渐兴起，并自1983年起成为斯堪的纳维亚地区的中心。在这30年里，手术技术几乎发生了彻底的变革。手术时机也随之发生了深刻的变化。基于对长期结果标准化登记的批判性评估，治疗效果得到了显著改善。最引人注目的发展之一是可植入不锈钢弹簧的引入。这彻底改变了颅缝早闭的治疗方法，并使面中部前移手术成为可能且不会复发。
