Özet
Aim: Craniosynostosis is a clinical condition that occurs after premature fusion of fibrous tissue at the suture line. This study aimed to present the management and method of patients with craniosynostosis in our center. Material and Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 89 patients who underwent surgery at Ankara City Hospital Children's Hospital between 2020 and 2021. The age, gender, diagnosis, length of hospital stay, surgical duration, and the amount of needed transfusion of patients were recorded. Results: Sagittal synostosis was determined in 45 (50.5%) patients, metopic in 32 (36%), coronal in 10 (11.3%), and lambdoid in 2 (2.2%) synostosis. Endoscopy-assisted suturectomy is a safe, easy, and comfortable surgical treatment option for craniosynostosis. Discussion: Endoscopy-assisted suturectomy is a safe, easy, and comfortable surgical treatment option for craniosynostosis.
