MULTIDISCIPLINARY MANAGEMENT OF COMPLICATIONS IN CRANIOFACIAL SURGERY

Tuesday, 1 May, 2012 - 11:10
Board 1

Craniosynostosis consists of a premature closure of one or more cranial suture. A well known adverse consequence of craniosynostosis surgery is the reoperation. As it is mentioned in literature, reoperations could be due to predictable situations, as in the multistage approach of syndromic synostosis (Crouzon syndrome), or unpredictable events (1). The rate of reoperation outlined in the scientific studies ranges between 7% and 36% (1-4).
