Maxillofacial

Women represent up to 90 percent of patients who seek treatment, Dr. Leonard B. Kaban, chief of oral and maxillofacial surgery at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said in an interview.

It wasn't long after arriving in Boulongne that Valadier convinced the general staff at the hospital to allow him to establish a temporary jaw unit in nearby Wimereux to handle the large number of maxillofacial injuries arriving from the front.
