Abstract

BACKGROUND: Frontoorbital distraction osteogenesis (FODO) is an established surgical technique for patients with unicoronal craniosynostosis. The authors' institution has used an endoscope-assisted technique (endo-FODO) in recent years to decrease cutaneous scarring and lessen the impact on the functional growth matrix. This study compared perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing endo-FODO to those in patients undergoing the traditional coronal approach.
