Abstract:
Objective To compare the effect of the bipolar electric coagulation and unipolar electric coagulation on cranioplasty of scalp separation. Methods The clinical data of 67 patients who underwent unilateral frontotemporal cranioplasty from 2014 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to coagulation method during operation, these patients were divided into two groups, unipolar electric coagulation group (32 cases) and bipolar electric coagulation group (35 cases). The operation time, postoperative intracranial hemorrhage, infection, epilepsy and subcutaneous effusion were compared between two groups. Results The operation time of two groups had no significant difference (P > 0.05). The incidence of intracranial hemorrhage, infection and epilepsy of two groups had no significant differences (P > 0.05). But the incidence of subcutaneous effusion in unipolar electric coagulation group was significantly higher than that in bipolar electric coagulation group: 28.1%(9/32) vs. 5.7%(2/35), P<0.05. Conclusions The use of unipolar electric coagulation during the scalp separation in cranioplasty can reduce operation time in a certain extent, but significantly increase the incidence of postoperative subcutaneous effusion.
