Article Synopsis
- Craniocerebral trauma significantly leads to death and disability, and decompressive craniectomy is a common emergency procedure to alleviate intracranial pressure, making cranial bone reconstruction essential for recovery.
- * A study of 44 patients who underwent ultra-early cranioplasty with titanium mesh showed improvement in neurological scores post-surgery, although 42 patients experienced complications, including hydroaccumulation and hematocele.
- * Prognostic factors affecting recovery included age and postoperative NIHSS scores, suggesting that while ultra-early cranioplasty can aid neurological recovery, careful monitoring for complications is crucial.
