Transaxillary subcutaneous endoscopic release of the sternocleidomastoid muscle for treatment of persistent torticollis.
J Pediatr Surg. 2008; (3): 447-50
Surgical correction of torticollis is occasionally necessary to curtail the facial deformity that can result from this condition. The resultant neck scar can be of suboptimal cosmesis, with consequent psychological distress for the child. We have previously described an endoscopic approach to forehead and brow lesions through scalp incisions. We now describe a transaxillary subcutaneous endoscopic approach to division of the fibrotic sternocleidomastoid muscle.
