Can I go back to living like a normal person after skull repair?

Can I go back to living like a normal person after skull repair? This is something that many patients have doubts about. They are worried that they will not be able to return to their normal life after repair. This is actually directly related to the material chosen for the repair. Here I would like to highlight the peek cranial repair material. This material is also known as polyetheretherketone. The best choice of material: polyetheretherketone is the most clinically appropriate choice of material for repair. Patients are no different from normal after a peek cranial repair. This is due to the excellent histocompatibility of peek and human body. Patients basically do not have rejection reactions. It is also more comfortable and thicker. It is similar to the human skull. Especially for pediatric patients, it can better adapt to the growth and development of human autogenous cranial bone. And it will have a lower infection and rejection rate. The most important point is that patients do not have to worry about how the surgery will affect the shape. If the repair is done with polyetheretherketone material, the 3D data can be extracted precisely to create a personalized repair material that matches the structure of the patient’s bone window. What are the benefits of the surgery for the patient: 1. The hard skull repair material can effectively prevent the brain from being hit by external forces. 2.Cranial bone repair also helps to improve problems such as impaired blood supply to the brain and abnormal cerebrospinal fluid circulation. 3, the longer the skull defect, the higher the incidence of skull defect syndrome and secondary brain damage. Moreover, cranial defect also leads to the change of shape of cranial defect area, and the scalp is affected by atmospheric pressure, which makes it invaginate and compress the brain tissue. Therefore, in order to restore the cranial cavity confinement, maintain the physiological intracranial pressure stability and alleviate the cranial defect syndrome. After skull defect, the skull should be repaired as early as possible to avoid the above symptoms, which threaten the health of patients. Cranial repair surgery procedure 1.Firstly, a 3D CT scan of the patient’s skull is required to extract accurate 3D data for 3D reconstruction and 3D printing to produce a personalized PEEK repair material that perfectly fits the bone window structure. 2.The scalp is incised during the surgery, and the layers of tissue are carefully separated to expose the bone window, and then the material is precisely affixed to the bone window and adjusted and reset. 3, well fixed with special lap screws, suture all layers of skin, and the surgery is complete. 4.After the operation, pay attention to give antibiotics to prevent infection, hemostasis and neurotrophic drug treatment; pay attention to observe the change of the patient’s surgical cavity drainage, change the medicine regularly and observe the incision healing. That is to say, after choosing the appropriate repair material for skull repair, there is no difference with normal people after the surgery recovery. Not only can’t be seen from the appearance, but also the pressure-bearing capacity of the skull is comparable to that of normal people, so the patients don’t need to worry about the possible danger caused by the defect.
