Which centers should be authorized to treat craniosynostosis? A plea for quality and not for quantity.

Background: In centers for craniosynostosis surgery, the volume of activity does not necessarily reflect the quality of the treatment.

Objective: Our aim was to analyze a retrospective series of patients over a period of 6 years in a low-volume craniosynostosis surgery center, and to study indicators that reflect the quality of treatment.

Patients And Methods: The analysis included all patients who underwent a craniofacial surgery for all forms of craniosynostosis during the period 2012-2017 (annual follow-up for 4 years).
