Presentation:
Combat-related injuries of the midface: lessons from war
(Joint presentation with Dr. D. Filonenko)
- How the war changed the structure of facial injuries, compared to the peacetime.
- Challenges due to combat trauma to the midface. Combat related injuries of the face: is it aesthetic or functional problem? Or not a problem?
- Primary care of the nose injuries: do we correctly face the problem?
- Secondary nose reconstruction; when surgery is limited, anaplastology steers.
- Application of 3D technologies in anaplastology.

International fellowships in Brazil, France, Germany, Poland, and the USA honed his craniofacial reconstruction expertise. Research focuses on orbital reconstruction, war-related head-neck trauma, CAD/CAM surgery, TMJ replacement, and regenerative techniques. He heads projects advancing CT-based volumetrics and automated virtual planning for facial prosthetics. An active EACMFS and AO CMF member, he mentors surgeons across Europe and Ukraine. Driven by digital innovation, he restores form, function, and dignity for maxillofacial patients.
