Outcomes of post-operative drain use after cranioplasty surgery – a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Acta NeurochirurgicaBackground Cranioplasty restores cranial integrity following decompressive craniectomy or skull trauma. Despite its reconstructive benefits, post-cranioplasty complication rates are high. Post-operative drainage has been proposed to mitigate these risks,

Cranioplasty: A Multidisciplinary Approach
Frontiers in Surgery, 2022 Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is an operation where a large section of the skull is removed to accommodate brain swelling. Patients who survive will usually require subsequent reconstruction of the skull using either their own bone or an artificial ...

Cranioplasty as neurosurgical procedure with potential risk of legal claims
Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2021 We present the current state of affairs regarding the legal claims of patients after cranioplasty operations who are dissatisfied with the treatment effect and have claims that the perioperative course is unfavorable. In the period of 11 years (2010-2020)
