Abstract
For children with craniosynostosis presenting intracranial hypertension and facial hypoplasia, different techniques have been used. Commonly, an initial frontoorbital advancement to expand a tight cranium volume was followed by Le Fort III osteotomy to repair midface abnormalities several months later. The 2-stage surgeries were unified into a 1-step procedure to optimize treatment. We here report results of frontofacial monobloc advancement, applying gradual distraction by a rigid external distraction device. Three patients were treated with excellent functional and cosmetic outcome with high rate of patient satisfaction. There was no remarkable complication.
