Cranioplasty is a kind of operation used to correct the abnormal head nature seen in children with sagittal Craniosynostosis. It comprises removing a tiny piece of skull bone, making cuts (osteotomies) either side of the fused sagittal suture and inserting metal springs that slowly widen the gap, which inspires new bone to grow in between the two cut surfaces.
