Abstract

Endoscopic surgery for single-suture synostosis has been widely adopted since its introduction over 2 decades ago. Its role in syndromic synostosis is emerging, both as a primary treatment and as the first stage in a multimodal treatment paradigm aimed at preventing the vexing turribrachycephaly seen in these children. In this video, the authors review the technique for endoscopic treatment of bilateral coronal craniosynostosis and discuss both the benefits and some of the concerns to look out for over time. They also review the long-term outcomes in a consecutive series of patients treated in this fashion. The video can be found here: https://vimeo.com/516351348.
