Surgical treatment of craniosynostosis.
The authors report their experience with the cranial recontouring techniques in the treatment of craniosynostoses. The results obtained treating sixteen children suggest that these techniques can be tolerated well by patients, with very limited postoperative complications. It is underlined that the precocity of the surgical treatment is an indispensable prerequisite in order to obtain satisfactory clinical and cosmetic results.
