Article Synopsis
- Scaphocephaly is a condition caused by the premature fusion of the sagittal suture, leading to an elongated skull shape.
- The study reviews the "Peau d'ours" surgical technique used to correct scaphocephaly, analyzing data from 53 patients treated between 2011 and 2016, with a focus on patient demographics and surgical results.
- This technique preserves healthy sutures and allows for symmetrical skull reshaping, proving to be safe and effective, particularly for patients older than six months, with a low risk of complications.
