XXXX : a pilot study.

@entity2694 @entity1 @entity129
Our unit policy in @entity2694 ( @entity2694 ) and remodeling has been initial overcorrection to improve the ultimate aesthetic outcome of surgery. To assess relapse of anteroposterior (AP) correction in @entity1 with @entity129 undergoing @entity2694 and remodeling, a retrospective pilot study identified @entity1 from the unit database. Serial AP calvarial measurements were used to record surgical and postsurgical changes. @entity1 showing a change in measurements toward preoperative values were considered to have relapsed. Associated factors were recorded, and statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS.Thirty-one @entity1 (female n = 10, male n = 21) with a median age at surgery of 17 months and a mean weight of 11 kg were included in the study. The mean hospital stay was 7 days. The mean advancement was 13 (SD, 4) mm, and relapse occurred in 65% (20/31). Mean AP relapse at 5 months was 6.2 mm. No @entity1 required subsequent @entity2694 . No significant correlation was found between relapse and age, weight, hospital stay, and syndromic status. Anteroposterior relapse of the fronto-orbital segment occurred in two thirds (65%) of our cohort at 5 months. A prospective study is now under way to analyze this further. The results of this pilot study suggest that strategies to minimize or to compensate for relapse may enhance the ultimate surgical result.
