(especially in very young patients), the duration of the examination and the failure to exactly depict bones. Recent advances—such as black bone MRI—will help to compensate for (at least) this aspect in the near future.
As already mentioned, the workup with ultra­sound, radiographs and MRI provides sufcient information on the intracranial situation, even in complex craniosynostosis. In many centres, sev­eral CT scans are still part of the usual treatment algorithm. As a CT scan is associated with a risk of cancer induction, we reserve this examination for emergency situations or for when exact bone depiction is needed, for example, for printing 3D skull models for surgical planning.
Dilated Ventricles inSyndromic Craniosynostosis
Although some reports on hydrocephalus in mono­sutural craniosynostosis exist (especially in cranio­synostosis of the sagittal suture), dilated ventricles—or hydrocephalus—are mainly an issue in syndromal—or complex—craniosynosto­sis. Different conditions cause hydrocephalus, including
• Enlarged ventricles without elevated ICP
• Impaired CSF circulation
• Tonsillar herniation (Chiari malformation)
• Elevated intravenous pressure level
nisms that might lead to a premature fusion of cranial sutures. In genetics, several distinct muta­tions that are associated with a specic syndrome have been identied. Additional posttranslational mechanisms—such as copy number variations (CNVs)—play a further role in the multifactorial origin of craniosynostosis. Knowing the distinct mutation and its associated syndrome has signi­cant advantages for further treatment strategies, including in Crouzon syndrome (which is associ­ated with normal intellectual behaviour and has a very high risk of raised ICP), Apert syndrome (which has a risk of elevated ICP in ca. 5% of individuals but determines intellectual restric­tions in up to one-third of children) and Muenke syndrome (which is associated with 30–40% of intellectual limitations but almost never with ele­vated ICP) (Fig. 4.3). However, Muenke syn­drome is associated with inner-ear hearing difculties that should be treated adequately and in time in order to prevent additional develop­mental limitations.
Surgical Therapy inSyndromal Craniosynostosis
Generally, surgical therapy is oriented around the affected sutures. In case of a single affected suture, the principles demonstrated above remain valid. If multiple sutures have fused too early, a different, individualised approach is required.
Any further treatment should be planned according to these underlying pathologies. It is important to employ higher pressure levels in implanted shunt devices in order to restrain the expansive impulse on the sutures. In coincidence with elevated ICP in craniostenosis, the treatment of enlarged ventricles might be even postponed in order to use resulting expansive forces for opti­mised remodelling after craniectomy.
Genetic Counselling inSyndromic Craniosynostosis

a likely condition and might need early treat­ment. It is very important to bear in mind that the fast growth dynamics in the rst months of life cause early re-ossication and re-occurrence of the original suture status. On the other hand, this re-ossication enables the surgeon to perform a vast craniectomy in order to create more space for the growing brain.
In the presence of dilated ventricles, the expe­rienced craniofacial team might even postpone their treatment in order to gain more space via a primary decompressive craniectomy. However, the presence of sharp bony spiculae that dive deep into the cortical sulci is an enormous chal­lenge intraoperatively.
Generally possible early surgical approaches include an early open craniectomy as well as early endoscopically assisted procedures in the rst 3–4months.
Cranial Remodelling
The indication for surgery might be based not only on the considerations of restricted intracra­nial space, but also on the osteoplasticity of the dural layer, functionality and aesthetic elements. As mentioned above, the capacity of large skull areas to re-ossify declines after 8months. Even if minor defects still ossify, larger skull defects should be avoided. This means that surgical strat­egy should aim at reorganising bone segments with only minor resulting bone defects. These small defects might be lled with bone crump or scraps that were created while sawing or that were even separately harvested.
Split bone techniques that are used to cover larger areas are not successful before 3–4years of life.
Active Distraction/Springs
If an active rearrangement of bone segments seems insufcient or difcult to achieve, an active distraction with distractors may be planned. This is a frequently chosen approach for midface distraction but might also achieve con­siderable gains in intracranial space. Some cen­tres employ springs to prevent fast reclosure of the sutures.
The third part of this monography concen­trates on the technical aspects of the different sur­gical strategies.

The history of the description of cleft lip and pal­ate deformities and the description of cleft patients in arts can be traced back many centu­ries. The variety of techniques used in cleft lip and palate treatment approaches has grown con­siderably from ancient times to now.
Isolated archaeological evidence from the ancient Schönwerda and Peruvian (Fig. 5.1) civilizations has described persons with untreated cleft deformities who lived until they were adults [1]. Although the early Egyptians, Mesopotamians, Indians, Greeks, and Romans were pioneers in their respective medical and surgical elds, no descriptions of cleft opera­tions were recorded [2].

The treatment of cleft lip and palate patients can also be traced back for centuries, but most of them were single reports. A more standardized approach to treat these deformities started in the Renaissance and became more scientic during the nineteenth century. All developments tried to reconstruct and normalize the typical anatomical deviations of the face (Fig.5.2): the lip, the nose, the premaxilla, and the palate. From a historical perspective (reected in this chapter), three steps can be differentiated in a conceptualized manner: (1), the closure of the lip, (2) the closure of the palate, and (3) the approaches to handle the ante­rior jaw nose complex (premaxilla), especially in bilateral clefts. The development of surgical tech­niques interdigitated over time to a state, where the reconstruction is in some centers tried to establish in a single-stage approach. Advances in

the surgery of cleft lip and palate deformities were paralleled by improvements in child anes­thesia. This is of special relevance in the closure of the palate, since bleeding and aspiration are major and life-threatening complications.
History ofCleft Lip Surgery
The rst report of an operation for a cleft lip was an impressive medical breakthrough at these early times, as a Chinese surgeon successfully closed a cleft lip in 390 BC [4]. An 18-year-old youth, Wey Young Chi, who was born in the city of Jen in the province of Hupeh was the rst patient. The surgery was performed in Nanking under the watchful eyes of Ying Chung-Khan, the governor of the province, and was a success. After his surgery, Wey Young-Chi was recruited into the imperial army and quickly impressed General Lin-Yu, by helping to suppress a revolt. In due course of time, Wey himself rose to the rank of general and later became Governor of the Province of Yee. He eventually became Governor General of the six provinces. Throughout his life, he afrmed that he would never have achieved so much if his cleft lip had not been repaired.
No operations for clefts were carried out in ancient Egypt, but a mummy with a cleft palate has been found. George Dorrance discussed the case of a mummy that had been reported in 1929 by Smith and Dawson in their work Egyptian Mummies published in London [5]. Thus, Egyptians knew about the deformity. In the ancient Mediterranean civilizations, these chil­dren were said to possess supernatural powers [6]. In the great epoch of Greek and Roman med­icine, no cleft operations were described, although operations were performed in the mouth and on the uvula. In Sparta, the unfortunate new­borns were abandoned on Mount Tagete, while in Rome, they were drowned in the Tiber River or thrown off the Tarpeian Rock. The noted philoso­pher Plato, far from opposing this practice, justi­ed it in one of his dialogues in the Republic, explaining that it was a means of removing evil omens and preserving the soundness of the race. Not a single reference of this deformity is found

in the Corpus Hippocraticum, which represented a compendium of the medical knowledge of the period.
In Europe, Saxon surgeons described an opera­tion for cleft lip in the Leechbook of Bald [7] in 950AD: “For harelip, pound mastic very small, add the white of an egg and mingle as thou dost vermil­ion, cut with a knife the false edges of the lip, sew fast with silk, then smear without and within with the salve ere the silk rot. If it draw together, arrange it with the hand; anoint again soon.”
The period between the Renaissance and the nineteenth century was the beginning of a more scientic oriented medicine. There are some sur­gical treatment principles reported (e.g., Albucasis of Arabia and his fellow surgeons used the cautery instead of the scalpel). The technique of suturing of the lips became more standardized (Fig. 5.3). Fabricius ab Aquapendente (1537–

1619) was the rst to suggest the embryological basis of such clefts [8]. Later on, studies on the normal embryological development of the face (Fig.5.4) were conducted and gave insight also into orofacial cleft development.
Ambroise Paré was one of the greatest sur­geons of the sixteenth century; he conducted detailed studies on the anatomy of the lips and palate and introduced signicant improvements in the technique of suturing. He is credited with the rst illustration of an operation on a cleft lip, and it appears in a work by Paré in Les Oeuvres showing the suturing method for cleft lip repair [9]. The knowledge of cleft lip biology, treatment concepts, and surgical corrections was acceler­ated by the publication of Pierre Franco’s Petit Traité and Traité des Hernies in which he described the condition as “lièvre fendu de nativ­ité” (cleft lip present from birth). Pierre Franco, a pupil of Ambroise Paré, never received a formal medical education but wrote two surgical texts based on his many years of experience, Petit Traité and Traité des Hernies [10]. The latter was published in 1561, and in it, Franco discusses the cleft lip in ample detail devoting two chapters to the subject. He was the rst to state the congeni­tal nature of the malformation clearly and referred to the unilateral harelip as the “lièvre fendu de nativité” (cleft lip present from birth). He pro­vides a meticulous classication of various types of clefts, calling the bilateral harelip the “dent de lièvre” (hare’s tooth) presumably because this condition was frequently accompanied by a marked protrusion of the premaxilla bone with its teeth. There were no reports of cleft palate opera­tions in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, probably because surgeons were frightened of the copious bleeding and the severe pain caused by the operation.
In 1844, Germanicus Mirault devised, in a sig­nicant advancement in cleft closure technique towards the method of Pierre Franco, to an inge­nious method to circumvent the problem of short­ening the vertical lip height, by introducing a triangular ap from the lateral side into a gap cre­ated by making a horizontal incision on the medial side [11]. This broke up the linear scar and introduced some extra tissue in an attempt to lengthen the lip. It also helped create a nostril

oor. More than a century later, Victor Veau stated, “Mirault is the genius of cleft lip surgery”; and indeed his contribution was the most impor­tant since Franco’s description of his two-step procedure [12].
Johan Fredrick Dieffenbach, who was a spe­cialist in urethral operations, had gained consid­erable experience in atraumatic techniques and was equally emphatic on the subject [13]. In the absence of safe and reliable general anesthesia, surgeons were forced to acknowledge whatever results were obtained as satisfactory but all that changed soon after “Mirault’s operation” was widely adopted [11]. It is interesting to note that during this early times of scientically oriented cleft surgery, Hendrik van Roonhuyze (1622–
1672) advised that cleft lips should be operated upon between 3 and 4months of age [14]. In his opinion, if they were operated earlier, the results would not be favorable.
Surgeons since then considered different approaches to close the lip cleft. Early pioneers of cleft lip surgery were Hagedorn [15], who used a quadrangular ap to increase the thickness of the medial part of the lip, and Blair and Brown [16], who attempted to correct the anterior nares by shifting the tissues towards the middle line. Veau [12] was impressed by this procedure, and his method is very similar. Le Mesurier reintro­duced Hagedorn’s method and published his experience extending over a period of 13years in 1949 [17]. The modern era of cleft surgery is often credited to C. W. Tennison in 1952 and Peter Randall in 1959 [18, 19]. Later on, Ralph Millard gave advancement to the surgical tech­niques [20]. He reported the “rotation advance­ment principle” using an exchange ap in the region of the anterior nares. This method has also been modied several times. The advantage of the procedure is improved nasal form and better anatomical joining of the musculature compared with that achieved by the Tennison operation. The modern surgery is based on all these basic principles but has seen multiple renements of technical approaches. Another original operative method is the so-called wave-shaped incision of Pfeifer [21]. It is said that this method joins the musculature better than any other. However, only
a few surgeons outside Germany have used this technique. Delaire improved the technique of cleft lip and palate closure based on a more com­plex approach, including the facial muscles in the surgical reconstruction approach [22]. The func­tional repair of cleft lip as described by Delaire adheres to the principle of “embryological sur­gery” in which the situation that existed at birth is recreated. There is no true hypoplasia of tissues in cleft lip, and normal tissues exist on either side of the cleft. Taking this into account, Delaire described a technique which places importance on lifting the entire functional matrix by subperi­osteal dissection up to the nasal septum. Also, the skin which appears to be short is only because it is retracted due to lack of activity of the underly­ing muscle. Once correct apposition of muscle is performed and activity is resumed, the skin dis­tends and lengthens, thus avoiding the need for skin-lengthening incisions which have the disad­vantage of creating a longer lip on the cleft side.
Surgery oftheCleft Palate
The introduction of chloroform as an anesthetic was of course of enormous importance. Cleft pal­ate surgery thus became much easier, especially in children. Renements in the basic principles of repair and greater attention to the details of anat­omy and function marked the beginning of mod­ern cleft palate treatment. The surgical techniques of modern palatoplasty address the concerns of speech development and midfacial skeletal growth. Today’s child anesthesia with oral intu­bation makes the closure of cleft lip and palate deformities much easier and safer, so that single­stage closures of a complete cleft lip and palate deformity can be done.
Historically, the rst detailed description of a cleft palate was done by Franco in 1556 [10]; there were no reports of cleft palate operations in older times. Detailed descriptions of the different forms of palatal clefts were documented later on (Fig.5.5). Even in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, descriptions of cleft palate operations are missing, probably because surgeons were frightened of the copious bleeding and the severe

pain caused by the operation [23]. Additionally, syphilitic perforations of the palate were, how­ever, frequently encountered in those times, so that surgeons believed that cleft palates were the result of syphilis. For this reason, operations for cleft palates were not advised.
In 1766, Le Monnier [24] described a cleft palate operation for the rst time. He used a measure to freshen the margins of the gap in the hope that healing will close the gap. Eustache is said to have closed the soft palate as early as 1779, but this has not been proven [5]. In 1798, Desault and Bichat [25] published an article stressing the importance of approximation of the margins of the cleft palate. The literature recog­nizes Graefe [26] and Roux [27] as the rst authors of a proper cleft palate operation. Graefe

rst cauterized the margins and then sewed them together. After failure to achieve healing, he freshened the wound margins and xed the stitches to the cheeks, so that they could not rip out (Fig.5.6). Small palatal clefts were operated by narrowing and suturing the cleft margins (Fig.5.7), but the resulting tension was a signi­cant problem in wound healing. Improvements in the clinical results were seen, when lateral inci­sions were introduced in the surgical technique. In 1826, Dieffenbach [28], a famous surgeon in Berlin, recommended the dissection of the mucosa from the hard palate, combined with lat­eral incisions to relieve tension. This operation was rst carried out in 1828. Velpeau [29] thought that the rst to introduce lateral incisions to relieve tension was Krimer of Aix La Chapelle in
