Abstract
A Clinical study on Cranioplasty-early and late in our institute. Cranioplasty is an increasingly common procedure performed in neurosurgical centres following a decompressive craniectomy, however, timing of the procedure varies greatly. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of an early compared to a late cranioplasty procedure. Methods: Fourty adult patients who underwent a cranioplasty between 2016 and 2019, in KGH / AMC, Visakhapatnam were studied retrospectively. Timing of operation and perioperative complications were assessed. Early and late cranioplasties were defined as less or more than 3 months since craniectomy respectively. Results: Of the 40 patients, 70%, 28 received a late cranioplasty and 30%, 12 received an early cranioplasty. Complications were seen in 10 patients (25%). These included wound or cranioplasty infection, symptomatic pneumocephalus and cosmetic issues. The complication rate was 24% in the early group and 25% in the late group. There was no significant difference in the rate of infection between the two groups. Conclusion: The outcome of early and late cranioplasty is same and complication rate is same in both the groups.
