The Melbourne technique was described in 2008 as a novel method for complete correction of scaphocephaly. Since 2015, it has become our operation of choice for children with sagittal synostosis who are too old at presentation for minimally invasive techniques. Our modifications were 2-position (initially supine then prone) technique and undertaking a formal fronto-orbital remodeling to correct forehead contour. Retrospective chart review was used to record demographics, blood transfusion frequency and volumes, operating time, length of stay, clinical outcome, and complications. Eleven underwent modified Melbourne procedure between July 2015 and March 2017; 9 of 11 were male. All had a diagnosis of nonsyndromic sagittal synostosis. Mean age at surgery was 29 months. Mean surgical time was 6 hours. All patients required blood transfusion with a mean volume transfused of 29 mL/kg (range 13-83 mL/kg). For those 5 patients where preoperative and postoperative measurements were available, there was an increase in mean cephalic index (CI) from 0.64 to 0.75. All postoperative patients had a CI of over 0.70. Three-dimensional shape analysis indicated head shape change addressing all phenotypic aspects of scaphocephaly. In the 5 patients in which analysis could be undertaken, the mean intracranial volume increased from 1481 cm preoperatively to 1671 cm postoperatively, a mean increase in intracranial volume of 14%. The postoperative intracranial volume was higher than preoperative in all 5 patients. There were 4 minor and no major complications. Modified Melbourne procedure is safe and effective for the treatment of severe scaphocephaly in sagittal synostosis.
