Quantifying the risks: a systematic review and proportional meta-analysis of the perioperative complications of posterior cranial vault distraction osteogenesis in patients with craniosynostosis

While PCVDO is effective in managing craniosynostosis, it is associated with a considerable risk of complications. Age and latency period are significant predictors of adverse outcomes. Innovations in device design and surgical protocols are warranted to optimize the safety and efficacy of the procedure.
