Title: Bone and Suture Reformation in Different Cranial Regions after Cranial Vault Remodelling for Sagittal Craniosynostosis

Abstract: In cases of non-syndromic sagittal craniosynostosis, the back of the skull (occipital region) demonstrates the most substantial bone regrowth following surgery. This strong healing, especially in the lambdoid suture at the back of the head, unequivocally assures parents and healthcare providers of the procedure’s effectiveness and safety, allowing for the preservation of larger skull openings.
