My field of interest lies within reconstructive surgery of both adult and pediatric patients. I completed my PhD on results of mandibular distraction osteogenesis (the surgical lengthening of the lower jaw) in children with respiratory problems that have a Robin sequence. Additionally, I have performed numerous (anatomical) studies with my colleague dr. Schellekens on the Internal Mammary Artery Perforator flap for reconstructions of the head and neck region. Currently, I’m involved in the (long-term) results of reconstructions after the AMORE procedure in children with a rhabdomyoscarcoma of the head and neck.
