Complications of post-injury decompressive craniectomy
International Journal of Critical Illness and Injury Science, 2012 Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a useful technique for the treatment of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) with intracranial hypertension (ICHT) resistant to medical treatment, increasing survival, although its role in the functional prognosis of patients is not defined.

Evaluation of Decompressive Craniectomy
Open Journal of Modern Neurosurgery, 2018 Background and Purpose: Decompressive craniectomy is a surgery used to remove a large bone flap and opening the dura to allow edematous brain tissue to bulge extracranially. However, the efficacy of decompressive surgery to reduce the mortality and improve the outcome in patients with refractory intra-cranial pressure is still unclear.

Delayed combination therapy of local brain hypothermia and decompressive craniectomy on acute stroke outcome in rat [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2014 Objective(s):Hypothermia and decompressive craniectomy (DC) have been shown to be neuroprotective. This study was designed to evaluate neuroprotective effects of delayed singular or combination of DC and local hypothermia on stroke. Materials and Methods:
