Microsurgery:

Thanks to a unique microsurgical procedure led by Prof. Eyal Gur, Dana-Dvek Children’s Hospital in Tel Aviv has been ranked 19th among the most technologically advanced children’s hospitals in the world by the Top Masters website. The procedure involves repairing paralyzed facial structures with nerve transplants, allowing patients to regain the ability to smile. Prof. Gur and his team have developed a technique that is used in only a few institutions around the world and continue to refine the technology, giving people their smiles back and improving their quality of life.
