Copyright © 2020 by Mutaz B. Habal, MD..

BACKGROUND: There are paucity of studies focused on the long-term assessment of the craniofacial changes after a pi-plasty procedure and self-reported quality of life outcomes. Thus, this study aimed to assess long-term morphologic changes and quality of life of patients with sagittal synostosis who underwent surgery with a modified pi-plasty.

METHODS: Consecutive patients with sagittal synostosis who underwent surgery and had more than 5 years of follow-up and standard preoperative and 1, 3, and 5 years right profile view photographs were included. Nasofrontal angle and angle of total facial convexity were evaluated using computerized photogrammetric measurements. Additionally, quality of life outcome was evaluated by the Quality of Life Scale Short Form.

RESULTS: The total facial convexity angle and nasofrontal angle increased significantly (P < 0.05), with a P-value of 0.013 and 0.012, respectively. Patients had quality of life scores >80 in all of the 4 domains, with the highest scores being: physical health domain 80.0 ± 0, psychologic domain 85.0 ± 5, social relationships domain 86.6 ± 0, and environmental domain 98.13 ± 2.42.

CONCLUSION: Facial angles significantly changed over 5 years of follow-up. Self-reported quality of life instrument showed that patients are satisfied with their own appearance, contributing positively to their quality of life.
