| Popis: | Purpose. The goal of the current study is to provide outcome data for open cranial vault reconstruction at a single institution by a single craniofacial-neurosurgical team. Patients and Methods. A total of 70 patient records were reviewed. The inclusion criteria were patients less than 3 years of age undergoing primary surgery with open cranial vault reshaping and a minimum follow up time of 2 years. Findings. Of the 70 patients meeting the selection criteria (32 female, 38 male), 5 were syndromic and 65 nonsyndromic. Average age and weight were 8.8 months and 9 kg respectively. The oldest child was 21 months and the youngest 3.5 months at the time of surgery. The estimated blood volume lost was 35.8% of total calculated blood volume. Average surgical time was 223.2 minutes. Conclusion. Our review of 70 open repairs of patients with craniosynostosis demonstrates good long-term results with an overall low complication rate and represents open cranial vault reconstruction as a valuable method for repair of such defects. |
