The Venetian blind technique: modification of the Pi procedure for the surgical correction of sagittal synostosis.
J Craniofac Surg. 2012 Nov; 23(7 Suppl 1):2047-8.JC

Abstract

Numerous methods of surgical repair for scaphocephaly (sagittal synostosis) have been reported in the literature, from strip craniectomies to more complex methods of calvarial vault remodeling. While good cosmesis and restoration of a normal anteroposterior diameter may be obtained with these methods, a more rounded contour of the biparietal areas is often more difficult to achieve. We describe a modification of the Pi technique, described by Jane in 1976, that results in a more rounded contour of the biparietal areas. We report our experience on cranial vault remodeling for the correction of scaphocephaly in 51 patients from 1998 to 2011.
