Cosmetic Surgeon Announces 15th Trip To Vietnam
A Colorado surgeon has announced his 15th trip to Vietnam with his Christian medical relief non-profit organization, Face The Challenge. Face The Challenge was founded 14 years ago to provide medical care for children with deformities in developing countries.
Denver, CO (PRWEB) March 9, 2007 -- Randolph C. Robinson, MD, DDS, founder of Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery and Face The Challenge, recently announced his 15th trip to Vietnam beginning on April 25, 2007 and running through May 6, 2007. The goal of this mission will be to provide surgeries with an emphasis on Cranio-maxillofacial trauma and orthognathic (jaw) surgeries.
Face the Challenge is a Christian medical relief non-profit organization that Dr. Robinson, along with his wife Ginger Robinson RN, BSN, founded in 1993. Dr. Robinson, Ms. Robinson, and several other members of the team will operate at the two main maxillofacial hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City, and will provide a variety services during the 10 day trip. The team will perform surgeries on several local patients, determined on a priority basis. Dr. Robinson and the other members will also give lectures to help train the Vietnamese surgeons, to continue the effort long after the team returns to the United States.
"I can't believe we have come so far with Face the Challenge," said Dr. Robinson, "the Lord has been faithful to give us this privilege to help those in need."
This trip will also be historic for them since they anticipate performing the one thousandth operation to help children with facial deformities.
"It's truly amazing to think of all the wonderful people we have helped throughout the years," stated Dr. Robinson. "Knowing we're impacting not just one life, but many lives for generations to come is truly a miraculous gift."
More about cranio-maxillofacial trauma
Cranio-maxillofacial trauma affects millions of people that have sustained trauma to the head or facial area, resulting in complex fractures which if not correctly diagnosed and treated, may cause permanent cosmetic and functional deformities. Cranio-maxillofacial trauma surgery is performed to restore the preinjury facial appearance and function.
More about orthognathic surgery
Orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery, is the process of correcting the jaw placement. The procedure requires the expertise of an oral and Maxillofacial surgeon. Orthognathic surgery is usually performed in late adolescence or early adulthood, after the patient's growth spurt has occurred. Typically orthognathic surgery is performed to help patients correct jaw deformities related to disproportionate growth either in the maxilla (the midface bone containing the teeth) or in the lower jaw.
