Cranioplasty is a common neurosurgical procedure performed to reconstruct cranial defects.
The materials used to replace bone defects have evolved throughout history. Cranioplasty …

Background Two randomised trials assessing the effectiveness of decompressive
craniectomy (DC) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) were published in recent years …

Cranioplasty remains a difficult procedure for all craniofacial surgeons, particularly when
concerning the reconstruction of large lacunae in the skull. Considering the significant …

OBJECT The factors that contribute to periprocedural complications following cranioplasty,
including patient-specific and surgery-specific factors, need to be thoroughly assessed. The …

Bioprinting is the assembly of three‐dimensional (3D) tissue constructs by layering cell‐
laden biomaterials using additive manufacturing techniques, offering great potential for …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been used in cranioplasty since the early 2000s.
However, there remains limited data that compares its long-term complication rate to …

Objective To characterize complication and failure rates and outcomes of patients who
underwent cranioplasty with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and titanium implants and to …

OBJECTIVE Despite their technical simplicity, cranioplasty procedures carry high reported
morbidity rates. The authors here present the largest study to date on complications after …

Quantifying biofilm formation on surfaces is challenging because traditional microbiological
methods, such as total colony-forming units (CFUs), often rely on manual counting. These …

The authors studied to demonstrate the efficacy of custom-made three-dimensional (3D)-
printed titanium implants for reconstructing skull defects. From 2013 to 2015, 21 patients (8 …
