Cranioplasty is one of the significant neurosurgical procedures in which the technical advances and also, by some means, drawbacks are still continuing. According to archeological findings and anthropological studies, the earliest procedures regarding cranioplasty date back to just about the same period claimed for trepanation. Ancient surgeons from different geographical sites and cultures performed both practices with remarkable survival rates. However, despite the length of the thriving past of cranioplasty, the first known written record on the topic dates back to late 16th century Europe. Further study of the Ottoman era documents revealed an intriguing text that was written about the repair of skull defects and that dates from early 16th century. This worthy discovery will add valuable contribution to the history of neurosurgery by drawing the written history of cranioplasty more than 60 years back and the use of organic grafts 160 years back. In the present study, this original text is discussed.
颅骨修补术是一项重要的神经外科手术，在该手术中，技术进步以及在某种程度上的缺点仍在持续。根据考古发现和人类学研究，最早的颅骨修补术可追溯到与环锯术大致相同的时期。来自不同地理位置和文化背景的古代外科医生进行这两种手术时都有相当高的存活率。然而，尽管颅骨修补术有着漫长的辉煌历史，但关于该主题的已知最早书面记录可追溯到16世纪后期的欧洲。对奥斯曼帝国时代文献的进一步研究发现了一篇有趣的文章，它是关于颅骨缺损修复的，可追溯到16世纪早期。这一有价值的发现将把颅骨修补术的书面历史向前推进60多年，并将有机移植物的使用历史向前推进160年，从而为神经外科历史做出宝贵贡献。在本研究中，将对这篇原始文本进行讨论。
