Résumé
Monobloc and bipartition advancement by external distraction plays a major role in the treatment of syndromic craniosynostosis. They can reverse the associated facial deformity and play a role in the management of ocular exposure, intracranial hypertension, and upper airway obstruction. Facial bipartition distraction corrects the intrinsic facial deformities of Apert syndrome. Both procedures are associated with relatively high complication rates principally related to ascending infection and persistent cerebrospinal fluid leaks. Modern perioperative management has resulted in a significant decline in complications. External distractors allow fine tuning of distraction vectors and improve outcome but are less well tolerated than internal distractors.
