Popis: | The purposes of surgery for craniosynostosis are to release increased intracranial pressure and to normalize cranial shape. The procedure was developed from a simple strip craniectomy in practice which ranged from the removal of the fused suture before the 1960s to total calvarial remodeling after 1970s and later methods of the 1990s, such as distraction and its modifications. According to its history, craniofacial surgeons might be changing their procedures with more effective, than less invasive ways. Since the late 1990s, when the distraction was applied to the craniofacial surgery, the gradual expansion, in particular of the anterior cranium, common in Japan, has long been controversial until the Caucasians accepted its use for the posterior cranium. Currently, the method may revert to the old procedure because a more sophisticated and better morphological result can be obtained depending on the types of deformity, even if a little more invasive maneuver is required. In other words, if treatment can be performed in optimal time, the procedures that were developed in the last half a century should be altered to each condition. |
