Anaesthesia for Craniofacial Surgery
Oxford Craniofacial Unit
Oxford Craniofacial Unit is one of four highly specialised craniofacial units in the UK, and one of the busiest in the world, undertaking approximately 80 transcranial procedures and seeing over 1200 outpatients each year.
It is designated by the 'Rare diseases' section of the Department of Health and NHS England, as one of the 'highly specialised services', and so receives specific funding allocation.
We treat both children and adults with congenital and acquired craniofacial abnormalities.
The largest group of patients we care for is children with craniosynostosis. Dr Sumit Das is one of the Consultant Paediatric Anaesthetists working in the Oxford Craniofacial Unit.
