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.
文献中已报道了多种治疗舟状头畸形（矢状缝早闭）的手术修复方法，从颅骨条带切除术到更为复杂的颅顶重塑方法。虽然这些方法可实现良好的美容效果并恢复正常的前后径，但往往更难实现双颞部更圆润的轮廓。我们描述了一种对1976年简所描述的Pi技术的改良方法，该方法可使双颞部轮廓更圆润。我们报告了1998年至2011年期间我们对51例患者进行颅顶重塑以矫正舟状头畸形的经验。
