Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to carry out a retrospective multicenter study comparing the morphological outcome of 8 techniques used for the management of sagittal synostosis versus a large cohort of control patients. Computed tomography (CT) images were obtained from children CT-scanned for non-craniosynostosis related events (n = 241) and SS patients at pre-operative and post-operative follow-up stages (n = 101). No significant difference in morphological outcomes was observed between the techniques considered in this study. However, the majority of techniques showed a tendency for relapse. Further, the more invasive procedures at older ages seem to lead to larger intracranial volume compared to less invasive techniques at younger ages. This study can be a first step towards future multicenter studies, comparing surgical results and offering a possibility for objective benchmarking of outcomes between methods and centers. © 2021 The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons
