“…Mean pre-operative age was 5.2 ± 3.2 months, and post-operative 9.8 ± 1.7 months. Sixteen patients underwent TCR (Sharma et al, 2018). Thirteen scans were pre-operative and 4 post-operative.…”

“…This is in accordance with other studies in the literature stating that sagittal craniosynostosis correction alters the head shape of the patients but does not always achieve full normalization (Liaw et al, 2019). A recent study used PCA to evaluate the use of spring for the treatment of sagittal synostosis by analyzing the variation of linear measurements in a SAC population (Satanin et al, 2019). TCR Post only counted four subjects hence no statistical difference was achieved, however visual inspection shows that Mode 2 values for TCR POST group are lower than NORM, hence showing this mode depicts differences in these two populations.…”

“…For example, our results showed a greater posterior/occipital narrowing at 36 months of age in both SAC models. Such a phenomenon was caused by the fusion of the craniotomy and the patency of the lambdoid sutures, allowing for angular changes across the parietal bone plates, a phenomenon also reported in the clinical study of Satanin et al, 35 . Further, considering the pattern of bone formation across the MSC technique, our model predicted initial bone formation across the craniotomy by 36 months of age.…”

Sagittal synostosis is the most occurring form of craniosynostosis, resulting in calvarial deformation and possible long-term neurocognitive deficits. Several surgical techniques have been developed to correct these issues. Debates as to the most optimal approach are still ongoing. Finite element method is a computational tool that’s shown to assist with the management of craniosynostosis. The aim of this study was to compare and predict the outcomes of three reconstruction methods for sagittal craniosynostosis. Here, a generic finite element model was developed based on a patient at 4 months of age and was virtually reconstructed under all three different techniques. Calvarial growth was simulated to predict the skull morphology and the impact of different reconstruction techniques on the brain growth up to 60 months of age. Predicted morphology was then compared with in vivo and literature data. Our results show a promising resemblance to morphological outcomes at follow up. Morphological characteristics between considered techniques were also captured in our predictions. Pressure outcomes across the brain highlight the potential impact that different techniques have on growth. This study lays the foundation for further investigation into additional reconstructive techniques for sagittal synostosis with the long-term vision of optimizing the management of craniosynostosis.

“…Transfer to the normal ward was done in all cases within 24 hours. The average total hospital stay was 3.2 ± 0.7days.In a recent report of their first 14 cases, Satanin et al20 reported a mean operative time of 56 ±14 minutes and a mean hospital stay of 4.2 days. Arko et al1 reported from pooled data of the literature that the mean operative time of spring-assisted cranioplasty was 61.8 minutes and the average postoperative stay was 3.1 days.…”

Spring-assisted cranioplasty (SAC) for the treatment of craniosynostosis uses internal springs to produce dynamic changes in cranial shape over several months before its removal. The purpose of this study was to report the first Egyptian experiences with SAC in the treatment of children with sagittal synostosis and evaluate the preliminary outcome. A total of 17 consecutive patients with scaphocephaly underwent SAC with a midline osteotomy along the fused sagittal suture and insertion of 3 springs with bayonet-shaped ends across the opened suture. Operative time, blood transfusion requirements and length of ICU, total hospital stay, and complications graded according to Oxford protocol classification were recorded. Spring removal was performed once re-ossification of the cranial defect occurred. All patients successfully underwent SAC without significant complications. The mean age at surgery was 6.8 months. The mean time of the spring insertion surgery was 63 minutes (SD 9.7). Blood transfusion was needed in less than half of the patients (41.2%).The mean duration of hospital stay was 3.2 days. The mean timing of spring removal was 5.5 months (SD 0.4). The mean time of the second surgery (spring removal) was 22.8 minutes (SD 3.6). In conclusion, SAC can easily be incorporated into the treatment armamentarium of craniofacial surgeons. The technique offers a safe and minimally invasive option for the treatment of sagittal craniosynostosis with the benefit of limited dural undermining, minimal blood loss, operative time, anesthetic time, ICU stay, and hospital stay.
