Endoscopic-assisted surgery for sagittal synostosis offers safe and effective treatment. This minimally invasive approach yields excellent long-term results with reduced complications compared to traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Sagittal synostosis is a common craniosynostosis affecting skull development.
  • Traditional surgical correction involves significant morbidity.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are sought to improve outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a 16-year experience using endoscopic-assisted techniques for sagittal synostosis.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and long-term results of this surgical approach.
  • To detail the surgical techniques and outcomes in a large patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 256 patients with sagittal synostosis treated between 1996 and 2012.
  • Endoscopic-assisted wide-vertex craniectomy with barrel stave osteotomies.

Published on: January 26, 2024

  • Postoperative cranial orthotic therapy for all patients.

    • Main Results:

    • Mean operative time was 57 minutes with minimal blood loss (27 cc) and low transfusion rates (7%).
    • Mean hospital stay was 1.1 days.
    • Excellent or good head shape (cephalic index) was achieved in 96% of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Endoscopic-assisted sagittal synostosis repair is safe and highly effective.
    • This technique provides excellent, long-lasting aesthetic and functional outcomes.
    • It offers reduced morbidity and superior results compared to open procedures.
