Perioperative Management and Outcomes of Pediatric Craniosynostosis Patients Undergoing Cranioplasty: A Retrospective Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Cranioplasty is a major surgical procedure typically performed in children under 1 year of age, often associated with significant complications. The scientific literature on perioperative management for children with craniosynostosis undergoing cranioplasty is limited.

Median admission age was 307 days, 30.4% of patients had syndromic disease; 28.4% underwent multi-suture cranioplasty. Median blood loss was 225 ml, and 85%
