A BAHRAINI man is able to speak and eat after 20 years of his jaw being fused with the base of his skull, thanks to a complex surgery performed by a team of experts at the country’s military hospital.
The maxillofacial surgery involved two lengthy operations totalling over 30 hours within a span of a month and was performed by a team of medics at the BDF Hospital headed by Dr Mohammed Al Muharraqi, who is a consultant maxillofacial and head and neck surgeon at the Royal Medical Services .
