Children with craniofacial anomalies comprise a diverse group of patients, with problems involving many organ systems. In the fairly recent past, no satisfactory treatment was available for many of these problems. Through the contributions of Tessier and many other innovators, however, multidisciplinary groups such as the Medical University of South Carolina's Craniofacial Team are now able to offer substantial improvement to many patients with congenital or acquired deformities of the craniofacial region. The best reconstruction for any given patient can be determined only after a careful analysis of the patient's problems and the patient's and family's wishes. Using this approach, we are able to help many patients significantly. As we treat today's patients, however, we must continue to critically assess our results and improve our methods, for only through this process will tomorrow's patients enjoy even better outcomes than today's.
患有颅面畸形的儿童包括各种各样的患者，他们的问题涉及许多器官系统。在不久之前，许多这类问题还没有令人满意的治疗方法。然而，通过泰西埃和许多其他创新者的贡献，像南卡罗来纳医科大学颅面团队这样的多学科团队现在能够为许多患有先天性或后天性颅面区域畸形的患者带来显著改善。只有在仔细分析患者的问题以及患者和家属的意愿之后，才能确定针对任何特定患者的最佳重建方案。采用这种方法，我们能够极大地帮助许多患者。然而，在治疗当今的患者时，我们必须继续严格评估我们的结果并改进我们的方法，因为只有通过这个过程，未来的患者才能比现在的患者获得更好的治疗效果。
