摘要

Endoscopic suturectomy represents an early intervention for craniosynostosis. For unilateral lambdoid craniosynostosis, this study reviews the existing literatures and summarizes a single-center experience with endoscopic management of lambdoid-related plagiocephaly. Our findings indicate that endoscopic surgery combined with orthotic helmet therapy can effectively improve cranial deformities, torticollis, and other associated abnormalities. However, the correction of compensatory deformities and the long-term outcomes related to Chiari malformation and other neurocognitive functions still require further investigation.
