XXXX : evaluation of aesthetic results.

@entity1 @entity410 @entity428 @entity2694 @entity91
Analysis of intermediate- and long-term results of surgical treatment of @entity91 is lacking. We therefore retrospectively studied 23 @entity1 with @entity91 (14 males, 9 females) who have been followed from 3 months to 8.1 years (mean 42.5 months) after operation. Age at first operation ranged from 2 to 56 months (mean 8.2 months), with 15 @entity1 operated on before 6 months and 8 after 7 months. Fronto-orbital remodeling and calvarial vault reshaping with floating forehead techniques were carried out in all @entity1 . Stabilization of bony segments was accomplished with microplates and screws in 7 @entity1 (30 percent), wires in 15 (65 percent), and absorbable sutures in 1. Complications included minor wound dehiscence (n = 1), @entity410 (n = 1), and @entity428 (n = 1). Postoperative photographic documentation of surgical results was available in 17 of the 23 @entity1 . Aesthetic outcome in these 17 @entity1 was graded (I = none or minor contour irregularities; II = moderate; and III = severe) by one of the authors (Cohen) and by a lay panel (n = 3) according to the degree of @entity2694 . Judged by the surgeon, grade I results were present in 53 percent, grade II in 35 percent, and grade III in 12 percent. To date, total reoperation (reoperative fronto-orbital remodeling and calvarial vault reshaping) was necessary in 2 @entity1 (9 percent), one of whom had signs of @entity428 3 years after the original craniofacial procedure, while partial reoperation (temporal cranioplasty) was carried out (n = 2) or recommended (n = 3) in another 5 @entity1 .(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
