Early Versus Delayed Cranioplasty After Decompressive Craniectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis [PDF]
Brain and BehaviorIntroduction Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a portion of the skull and is used to treat various conditions.

Preservation versus Structural Cranioplasty: A New Concept for Craniosynostosis Treatment [PDF]
Archives of Plastic SurgeryCraniosynostosis, a condition characterized by the premature closure of one or more cranial sutures, can be classified based on the affected suture, the number of sutures involved, or the presence of syndromic features.

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 ...

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,

Superficial temporal artery-to-middle cerebral artery side-to-side microvascular anastomosis and cranioplasty in a single-stage procedure: Technical nuances and hemodynamic outcomes [PDF]
Acta NeurochirurgicaBackground Cranioplasty following decompressive craniectomy in patients requiring concurrent cerebral revascularization presents a surgical challenge. While traditional end-to-side bypass may compromise scalp perfusion, a combined single-stage procedure ...
