Abstract:
Skull defect is one of the major sequelae of traumatic brain injury and decompressive craniectomy,which affects the prognosis of neurological function.Cranioplasty is the main method to treat skull defect.The surgical technique is relatively simple and has been widely performed in neurosurgical departments.Although the optimal timing of cranioplasty is still controversial,the author advocates early cranioplasty when the patent's condition permits.Different cranioplasty materials have their own advantages and disadvantages,so we should choose appropriate materials according to the specific conditions of patients.Full preoperative evaluation,reasonable operation and proper postoperative management are important means to prevent complications related to cranioplasty.In view of these problems,the author reviews the latest literature and progress in order to provide reference for standardizing clinical treatment.
