Objectives

Narrative objectives1

We will follow patients who underwent resorbable plate assisted suturectomy for over 5 years postoperatively and evaluate intracranial volume and cranial morphology, bone regeneration and residual defects, and the presence and indications of reoperation. In syndromic cases, we will analyze midface growth and its implications for future reconstructive surgery.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

Craniosynostosis is a rare disorder that causes elevated intracranial pressure and craniofacial deformity, and conventional suturectomy is limited by early re-synostosis. At our institution, we temporarily cover the resected suture margins with resorbable plates to suppress re-synostosis and promote natural bone regeneration after resorption, and we will evaluate the clinical outcomes and efficacy of this approach.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Longitudinal change in intracranial volume (ICV) at pre-op, 3/6/12 months, then annually up to 5 years

Presence/absence of bone regeneration or residual cranial defects (imaging-based; CT)

Key secondary outcomes

Longitudinal change in cranial shape indices (e.g., Cephalic Index)
Intracranial volume,Cephalometric analysis,Clinical photographic measurements,Clinical findings (including complications)
Reoperation rate, timing, and indications
In syndromic cases, midface growth and implications for future reconstruction/fixation safety
