Endoscopy-assisted early correction of single-suture metopic craniosynostosis: a 19-year experience.

In BriefThe long-term results of treating infants with metopic craniosynostosis by using endoscopic, minimally invasive techniques are reported. The impetus arose from the lack of consistent and favorable outcomes associated with calvarial vault remodeling techniques and from the very traumatic and invasive nature of these procedures. The results presented show excellent and consistent long-term outcomes that are superior to traditional methods and are associated with minimal trauma, blood loss, and anesthetic exposure, and with short surgical times.
