title: Craniofacial operations and specialised centres: should they have a monopoly?
abstract: Contrary to several recent statements craniofacial operations should not be the monopoly of large specialised centres but may be handled successfully by well trained surgeons working in a good medical environment. The experience of the Geneva University Hospital is reviewed in this paper; there has been no death or major complication and the cosmetic results compare favourably with other series.
