Bifrontal decompressive craniectomy (DC), which was once a popular technique for treating midline mass lesions, has seen a notable decline in its therapeutic use within modern neurosurgery. Despite its diminished clinical use, the procedure offers considerable value as an educational tool for surgical training. This study used a Thiel-embalmed cadaver to demonstrate the bifrontal DC procedure, including a Souttar incision, strategic (MacCarty, zygomatic, and apical) keyhole/burr hole placement, superior sagittal sinus suturing, left frontal lobe decortication, and microscopic visualization of the anterior cranial fossa.
