How much does it cost to replace the skull with a craniotomy

Some people in our lives have to undergo craniotomy either because of head trauma or because of some craniosynostosis. Craniotomy requires the opening of the skull, so that the skull is repaired after surgery to restore the integrity of the head and maintain the normal state of the intracranial tissues. Generally speaking, skull repair after craniotomy usually takes about 3 months after surgery, but if there is a post-operative infection, it needs to be controlled before skull repair. How much does skull repair cost after craniotomy? There is no unified standard for the cost of surgery, because the size of the skull repair area, the hospital and the repair material chosen by the patient are all different, which will affect the cost of surgery. At present, many local hospitals are using titanium mesh material for skull repair, which has obvious progress compared with various materials in the past and is also very cheap. However, according to many clinical verification results, titanium mesh material may have some shortcomings and deficiencies, post-operative rejection may occur, infection may occur, and there may be material exposure, which will require another surgery, and the cost is actually higher. Therefore, the titanium mesh material is not ideal for skull repair surgery. The new PEEK material is now used to perform cranial repair surgery for patients, and it has excellent performance and good results.
