Abstract
We have reviewed the outcomes of management of craniosynostosis patients and evaluated changes in these outcomes as the experience was gained. The study is a retrospective chart review of the 169 patients operated on for various craniosyntoses in the hospital, for the last 25 years from January 1995 to July 2019. The whole spectrum of craniosynostoses patients have been operated on and followed up for up to 20 years. All the patients underwent open surgery involving fronto-orbital advancement and remodelling of the deformed calvarium. It was noted that all the syndromic patients required more than one operation, whereas the non-syndromic patients had a stable result after a single surgery. Craniofacial surgery has now truly arrived in India. Our experience with management of craniosynostosis at PGIMER, Chandigarh, has shown an acceptable morbidity and mortality which is at par with the global standards.
