DOI: 10.1007/s00381-018-4025-1
Abstract: IntroductionComplications following cranioplasty with either autografts or cranial implants are commonly reported in pediatric patients. However, data regarding cranioplasty strategies, complications and long-term outcomes are not well described. This study systematically reviews the literature for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2017.12.005
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Dural substitutes are used in decompressive craniectomy (DC) to prevent adhesions during subsequent cranioplasty. Current literature attributes them to reduced blood loss and reduction in operative time of cranioplasty. The use of double-layer substitute… read more here.
