Application of inferior major bone flap craniotomy decompression in brain injury
Abstract
Objective: To summarize the application of inferior major bone flap craniotomy decompression in brain injury operation.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was done in 218 cases with brain injuries who were admitted to our department from January 1995 to December 1999 and treated with the inferior major bone flap craniotomy decompression.
Results: Of 218 cases, 121 cases (55.50%) were cured according to GOS, 39 (18.30%) were with good recovery or moderate disability, 13 (5.60) with severe deformity, 3 (1.40%) vegetative life, the rest 42 (19.20%) died after operation; no encephalocele or incarceration were found.
Conclusions: The inferior major bone flap craniotomy decompression can remove hematoma timely and completely, is better than general craniotomy decompression and has a positive effect on brain injuries especially when bone flap is small.
