[Endoscopically assisted fronto-orbitary correction in trigonocephaly].
The development of multidisciplinar Units for Craneofacial Surgery has led to a considerable decrease in morbidity even in the cases of more complex craniofacial syndromes. The use of minimally invasive techniques for the correction of some of these malformations allows the surgeon to minimize the incidence of complications by means of a decrease in the surgical time, blood salvage and shortening of postoperative hospitalization in comparison to conventional craniofacial techniques. Simple and milder craniosynostosis are best approached by these techniques and render the best results. Different osteotomies resembling standard fronto-orbital remodelling besides simple suturectomies and the use of postoperative cranial orthesis may improve the final aesthetic appearence. In endoscopic treatment of trigonocephaly the use of preauricular incisions achieves complete pterional resection, lower lateral orbital osteotomies and successful precoronal frontal osteotomies to obtain long lasting and satisfactory outcomes.
