Craniofacial surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji skillfully performed the complex reconstruction. A cortical bone graft was harvested from the rib and used to reconstruct the left forehead. Miracle protein rhBMP-2 was placed on the bone graft to stimulate new bone formation.
The defect in the nasolacrimal duct was corrected with DCR or Dacryocystorhinostomy. The ostium was opened with rongeurs, bone adjacent to nasolacrimal sac was removed. A new direct communication was created between the nasolacrimal sac & the nasal mucosa by placing a silicone tube to enable the tears to drain into the nose. Complete craniofacial defect was corrected successfully.
