INTRODUCTION. Sagittal synostosis can be surgically corrected by a variety of surgical procedures, all of them, however, burdened by a significant cosmetic impact owing to the visibility of the surgical scar. TECHNICAL NOTE. In this note, the author describes a surgical procedure that utilizes six strategically placed short scalp incisions instead of the traditional S-shaped or biparietal scalp incisions. Though still allowing effective correction of the malformative condition, the new procedure has only a minor cosmetic impact and leads to easier intraoperative and postoperative management of the patient. The procedure can be carried out using both standard or endoscopic techniques.
