With your generous support, we can continue to provide transformative care to those who need it most, helping rebuild lives—one face at a time.
The human toll of wartime and firearm-related injuries is etched in memory, body, and identity. Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) trauma caused by explosives and high-velocity projectiles results in some of the most complex and devastating injuries – affecting appearance, speech, essential functions, and the ability to engage with the world.
Surgical teams at Rambam Health Care Campus operate at the intersection of medicine and humanity. We restore not only form and function, but also dignity, autonomy, and a sense of self. This presentation will share real-world cases of patients from across the socioeconomic spectrum: soldiers, civilians, women, men, and children, all of whom required intensive reconstructive care after violent injury.
Drawing on recent experiences with wartime injuries, we will explore how each reconstructive effort combines anatomy, innovation, and compassion. These surgeries are not only technical achievements but also essential steps in the lengthy process of recovery and reintegration.
