FINAL POST - Discharged, finally, October 2022

We attended a GOSH outpatient appointment a week before her 11th Birthday in October and they agreed Kate could be discharged- see extract of the letter below.  Today I advised Ophthalmology Department at St Helier as they'd sent and appointment for Kate in December so they will also discharge her now.

If anyone is still reading or finds this in the future and wants to ask any questions please do not hesitate to contact me,

CRANIOPLASTY USING BONE GRAFT

17/04/2013

 

It was a pleasure to meet Kate in clinic today with her mother. Kate had a Fronto-orbital remodelling procedure at aged 15 months, we last saw her in clinic 2 years ago. Since then she has been doing very well and getting involved in many sports including acrobatics.

 

She has no issues with her head shape and the scar has continued to not cause any issues. She did ask about making the scar smaller in the future, however we discussed that the scar is already quite narrow and wouldn't be a candidate for a revision as it may make it worse.

 

She is growing and developing well, not suffering with any headaches and her eye checks have all been normal.

 

I am very happy to discharge Kate from clinic today, however if she or her family have any questions or concerns in the future, then please do get in touch.
