The paper presents clinical evaluation of the polypropylene-polyester knit used as a cranioplasty material.
Between year 1980 and 2002 275 cranioplastic procedures using the polypropylene-polyester plates Codubix were carried out in the Department of Neurosurgery of the Medical University of Łódź. There were 146 patients who primarily sustained head injuries and 129 non-traumatic patients with craniectomies carried out for various other reasons. In the majority of cases, i.e. in 158 patients, cranioplasty was performed later than 6 months after the primary surgery. The largest implant measured 430 cm2.
Excellent and good outcome was achieved in 92% of the patients whereas the rate of local infection was 8%.
Codubix knitted polypropylene-polyester implant proved to be useful and a safe cranioplastic material.
本文介绍了用作颅骨成形术材料的聚丙烯-聚酯编织物的临床评估。
1980年至2002年期间，罗兹医科大学神经外科使用Codubix聚丙烯-聚酯板进行了275例颅骨成形手术。其中146例患者最初遭受头部损伤，129例非创伤性患者因各种其他原因进行了颅骨切除术。在大多数情况下，即158例患者中，颅骨成形术在初次手术后6个月以上进行。最大的植入物面积为430平方厘米。
92%的患者取得了优异和良好的效果，而局部感染率为8%。
Codubix编织聚丙烯-聚酯植入物被证明是一种有用且安全的颅骨成形材料。
