This study aims to investigate autogenous bone grafts mixed with recombinant human vascular endothelial growth factor (rhVEGF) effect on bone regeneration in rat mandibular bone defect. Using 32 Wistar Albino rats, our experimental study consists of 4 groups Group1 (control group), the defect was empty; Group 2, autogenous bone graft only; Group 3, gelatin sponge plus rhVEGF applications; Group 4, autogenous bone graft plus rhVEGF applications. The rats were sacrificed on the 28th day after the operation. New bone regeneration was analyzed histologically and immunohistochemically. Our histological analyses revealed that new bone regeneration in Group 3 was enhanced in comparison to Group 1 and Group 2. However, autogenous bone grafts combined with rhVEGF provided the best outcome in conjunction with the increased remodeling of the new bone. In the light of our results, it can be concluded that autogenous bone grafts in combination with rhVEGF can, potentially, enhance neovascularization and bone regeneration. In the light of our results, it can be concluded that autogenous bone grafts in combination with rhVEGF can, potentially, enhance neovascularization and bone regeneration. The goal of endoscopic treatment for craniosynostosis is to remove the fused suture and achieve calvarial remodeling with external orthosis. To reduce the need for secondary surgery and to minimize blood loss, instruments that maximize bone removal while minimizing blood loss and risk of dural injury are evolving. The authors therefore assess the safety and efficacy of the Sonopet Ultrasonic Bone Aspirator (UBA) (Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI) for endoscopic suturectomy compared to traditional instrumentation at our institution. Retrospective chart review of consecutive endoscopic suturectomies performed from 2011 to 2019 at Weill Cornell Medical Center was conducted, including demogr
