What is cranial repair surgery? Cranial repair is used for cranial defects mostly due to surgical treatment, traumatic defects and congenital cranial defects. The cranial defect will not only affect the appearance aspect. In severe cases, it can also cause health risks to the patient. There are also skull repair surgeries that can be performed if the defect is severe enough to affect the appearance of the skull. Therefore, it depends on the individual case. For example, children with cranial defects will partially heal later and do not need surgery, so it is best to go to the hospital for an interview and consult with the doctor to decide if repair is needed. The purpose of cranial repair: Patients with cranial defects often have a heavy burden of insecurity and can cause headaches, dizziness, fear of vibration and other syndromes. The longer the skull defect, the higher the incidence of skull defect syndrome and secondary brain damage. Therefore, cranial repair is necessary for safety reasons. Cranial repair includes examination, hospitalization, anesthesia, surgical materials, medicine and appropriate care. Since there are more charges included, the cost of cranial repair depends on the local charges and the patient’s specific situation. The examination fee, hospitalization fee, anesthesia fee, surgery fee and postoperative medicine fee generally do not vary too much in China, around 15,000 RMB. The choice of material and area determines the cost of skull repair surgery. The material of skull repair becomes the key to determine the total cost of surgery. Nowadays, the commonly used materials for skull repair are titanium mesh and peek material. Titanium mesh is the most popular and commonly used skull repair material and is relatively inexpensive, while the new peek material has more advantages in terms of hardness and stability, and is more expensive. There is also the area which also determines the cost of skull repair, definitely the larger the area of the defect, the more expensive the material needed. Cranial defect repair can be performed if the defect area is larger than 3*3cm. The best material for skull repair How much does skull repair surgery cost? The material of choice is peek, which has better histocompatibility. It is more comfortable and has enhanced thickness. It is similar to 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 polyetheretherketone material is a material that can be plasticized in three dimensions, and it can be customized in three dimensions according to different patients’ conditions. It truly restores the physiological structure of the skull perfectly. The material is more expensive compared to titanium mesh, etc., but the post-surgical results will be better. It is also the most recommended repair material by doctors for patients. The procedure: 1. First, a 3D CT scan of the patient’s skull is required to extract accurate 3D data, perform 3D reconstruction, and 3D printing to produce a personalized PEEK repair material that perfectly matches the structure of the bone window. 2, The scalp is incised during 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 changes of the patient’s surgical cavity drainage, change medication regularly and observe the healing of the incision.
