We describe a refined method for minimizing blood loss during strip craniectomy, using a high-speed drill with a diamond burr and a novel attachable dural retractor. The diamond drill bit generates localized heat that cauterizes the bone edges, thereby potentially reducing bleeding, while the dural retractor is designed to limit heat dissipation and protects the dura from thermal and mechanical injury.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 3-month-old female infant with trigonocephaly secondary to metopic craniosynostosis underwent endoscopy-assisted metopic strip craniectomy, followed by postoperative cranial molding helmet therapy.
