Minimally invasive, endoscopic repair of metopic craniosynostosis has emerged as a potentially efficacious, safe, and aesthetically acceptable alternative to open proce- dures. Potential advantages of an early endoscopic approach to repair
metopic craniosynostosis include a reduction in blood loss and consequent decreases in transfusion volumes, decreased hospital costs, shorter operative times, and limited duration of
hospitalization. Other benefits of minimally invasive techniques would be avoidance of anaesthetic sur- gical scarring, decrease in postoperative swelling and dis- comfort, and lower rate of
complications such as duramater tears, postoperative hyperthermia, or infection. However, a concern is usually raised about the achievements of the “endoscopic” techniques when compared to “standard” open approaches. The indications for endoscopic-assisted surgery in the treatment of trigonocephaly
remain contro- versial and further series and follow-up of these patients are necessary to set up the role of these approaches.
