The need for fronto-orbital re-advancement is reported from all cases of craniosynostosis operated on in the Birmingham and Oxford Craniofacial Units since 1979. Analysis of the 219 cases demonstrates a significantly higher re-operation rate in cases of syndromal craniofacial dysostosis or unilateral coronal synostosis initially operated on below the age of 6 months. Mild bicoronal, sagittal and metopic synostotic cases, however, did uniformly well with the timing of initial surgery having little influence on the re-operation rates.
