Blood loss is a main cause of morbidity after craniofacial procedures. The purpose of this study is to identify the incidence and predictors for transfusion of blood products in the endoscopic assisted strip craniectomy population. Data was prospectively collected from a single-center multi-surgeon cohort of 78 consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic assisted strip craniectomy for craniosynostosis between July 2013 and December 2020.

UV damaged DNA is repaired either by photolyases, using visible light energy, or by nucleotide excision repair (NER), also known as dark repair. NER consists of two subpathways: global genomic repair (GGR), which repairs untranscribed DNA throughout the genome, and transcription-coupled repair (TCR), which repairs transcribed DNA.

- Peripheral intravenous cannulation in children can lead to serious complications, such as fluid leakage into surrounding tissues.
- In a specific case, a large volume of blood given through a small cannula resulted in significant tissue damage and loss of blood flow to the limb.
- Rapid intervention using a lipoaspiration technique effectively removed the extravasated fluid, preventing the need for more invasive surgical procedures.
