Dr. Richard F. Eisen of South Shore Skin Center and Spa Helps Spread "Global Smiles" in Trujillo, Peru
Dr. Richard F. Eisen, Board Certified Dermatologist and Founding Physician/Director of South Shore Skin Center and Spa has recently returned from a mission trip to Trujillo, Peru with the Global Smile Foundation, where he assisted in cleft lip and palate surgical procedures on 42 children of the region.
- (1888PressRelease) September 16, 2011 - According to Dr. Eisen, "There is little access to surgical care in the northern mountain regions of Peru and because of this, many children in need of cleft lip and palate repairs remain untreated. The goal of Global Smile Foundation is to alleviate the suffering of underserved patients born with facial congenital deformities."
The non-profit Global Smile Foundation partnered with EsSalud and Rotary Club of Trujillo to provide needed cleft care to underserved patients at the Hospital Victor Lazarte Echegaray.
Dr. Eisen completed the closures for the surgeons. Of the surgeries, 15 children received primary cleft lip repairs, 11 children received primary cleft palate repairs, 10 children received lip and/or nose revisions and six children had alveolar cleft repairs.
