High-density porous polyethylene (Medpor) has long been used in cranioplasty and is still one of the best materials for calvarial reconstruction. Calvarial defects can be effectively reconstructed with fewer complications by using Medpor. This article reports our study on the use of Medpor in reconstructing calvarial defects.
Twenty-three patients who underwent cranioplasty from 1999 to 2011 were included in this study. In all patients, Medpor was used for calvarial defect reconstruction, and all were followed up for at least 6 months.
Most patients were satisfied with the reconstructive outcome. Only 1 patient had an infection and 1 had transient extradural seroma. All complications occurred within 2 years, and no new complications were found during the long-term follow-up.
Using Medpor in cranioplasty is an effective method for reconstructing calvarial defects.
高密度多孔聚乙烯(Medpor)长期以来一直用于颅骨成形术,仍是颅骨重建的最佳材料之一。使用Medpor可以有效重建颅骨缺损,且并发症较少。本文报告了我们关于使用Medpor重建颅骨缺损的研究。
本研究纳入了1999年至2011年期间接受颅骨成形术的23例患者。所有患者均使用Medpor进行颅骨缺损重建,且均进行了至少6个月的随访。
大多数患者对重建结果满意。仅1例患者发生感染,1例出现短暂性硬膜外血清肿。所有并发症均发生在2年内,长期随访期间未发现新的并发症。
在颅骨成形术中使用Medpor是重建颅骨缺损的有效方法。
