Cranioplasty Surgery for Skull Wall Defect
Surgical Approaches
1. Autologous bone graft : The patient’s own bone (often preserved from a previous surgery) is used to repair the defect, providing natural integration and biocompatibility.
2. Synthetic materials : Titanium meshes, acrylics, or modern biocompatible polymers are often used when the original bone is not available or suitable.
3. Custom-made implants : Advanced 3D imaging and printing technology allow for highly precise implants tailored to the patient’s skull shape, ensuring an excellent fit and improved cosmetic results.
Goals of the Surgery
Protect the brain from external injury.
Relieve neurological symptoms such as headaches or seizures caused by the defect.
Improve psychological well-being and self-image by restoring skull shape.
Enhance neurological function by normalizing intracranial dynamics.
