Abstract

AIM: Barrel stave osteotomy is a widely used procedure in neurosurgery for the majority of craniosynostosis patients. Both in the intraoperative and postoperative periods, there is inevitable leakage type bleeding from the bones undergoing osteotomy. A number of studies have been performed in order to prevent this complication but a concise procedure is still lacking.
