Cranial osteomyelitis is a common complication of brain surgery. A one-stage reconstructive repair of the cranial bone is desirable, but risks active infection. The authors have developed a reconstructive technique for osteomyelitis-related cranial defects that fills the dead space with an omental flap and uses a titanium mesh plate for the structural element. This report describes the successful treatment of 8 patients using this approach.
颅骨骨髓炎是脑外科手术的常见并发症。颅骨的一期重建修复是理想的,但存在感染活跃的风险。作者开发了一种针对与骨髓炎相关的颅骨缺损的重建技术,该技术用网膜瓣填充死腔,并使用钛网板作为结构元件。本报告描述了使用这种方法成功治疗8例患者的情况。
