Does cranial repair surgery have a high success rate? Cranial repair is due to open surgical trauma or firearm penetration, partly due to surgical decompression, penetrating damage due to cranial lesions or removal of cranial lesions. Some patients may ask if a cranial defect can be repaired without repair. If surgery is to be performed, does it have a high success rate? The danger and latent danger of not repairing cranial defects for a long time is great and should be taken seriously by adults and children alike. Do not take a chance not to repair it. What are the dangers of long-term cranial defect? 1, because the atmospheric pressure acts directly on the brain tissue through the defect area, which will inevitably lead to local brain atrophy and cystic change over time and aggravate the symptoms of brain damage. 2, children with cranial defects with the development of brain tissue and become larger, affecting the normal brain development and appear low intelligence. 3.Adults may have slow reaction, memory loss or even focal neurological symptoms and signs. Epilepsy may be associated with meningeal-brain scar formation. Cranial defect syndrome? The person with the defect may have a fear of pulsation, bulging, collapse of the defect area, fear of sunlight, vibration and loud noises. There is often dizziness, headache, loss of self-control, memory loss, or depression and low self-esteem. Local performance of skull defect? 1.There will be localized swelling and pain, and the edge of the defect will be equally painful. 2.The scalp will sink into the skull when the defect is in a high position. 3.When the defect is low, the scalp and part of the brain tissue will bulge outward and the brain pulsation will be unbearable. Cranial repair surgery? Titanium mesh and polyetheretherketone are the materials generally used for skull repair surgery. Polyetheretherketone is the most suitable material for skull repair and is one of the most commonly used materials in clinical practice. Cranial repair surgery is a kind of surgery that does not enter the brain tissue, and the surgery is done outside the cerebral cortex, especially outside the dura, or outside the scar after the first surgery, or outside the fascia. Therefore, skull repair surgery is generally safe, and the technology of surgery has been relatively mature, and the success rate of surgery is very high if you choose experienced physicians, so patients do not need to worry too much. What are the possible risks of skull repair surgery? Of course, skull repair surgery needs to be performed under general anesthesia. The biggest risks of skull repair surgery are: First, when separating the whole flap from the original incision, it must be carefully separated to avoid splitting and breaking into the brain tissue; second, when putting the repair material, it must pay attention to the pressure, not to give a particularly large pressure, which needs to be evaluated before the surgery; third, between the repair material and the surface separated fascia, it needs to be sutured as tightly as possible and lifted up to avoid the occurrence of repair material secondary hematoma underneath. In summary: long-term cranial defects present a latent risk and patients should not take them lightly and should undergo surgical repair in a timely manner. Cranial repair is a relatively safe procedure with a high success rate, and patients do not have to worry too much about the risks of the procedure. Choosing an experienced physician can have a defense against the risk and improve the surgical cure rate.
