Endoskopsko zdravljenje skafocefalije: prikaz primera in nove operacijske tehnike

The most common craniosynostosis, scaphocephaly, is the consequence of premature closure of the sagittal suture. Craniosynostosis does not just pose a cosmetic problem, but it can also lead to the permanent neurological deficits. Therefore early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for good outcome. Open surgery with large skin incision is currently the standard procedure. We present our first endoscope-assisted surgical procedure for scaphocephaly. The infant did not need transfusion or intensive therapy after the surgery and skin incision was minimal. This minimal invasive, new surgical technique and its development were described.
