Advantage of Catcher's mask cranioplasty for post-surgical infectious skin trouble

Ichiro Takumi et al. Childs Nerv Syst. 2009 Apr.

Abstract

Introduction: We report the case of a patient with repeated intractable cranioplasty infections who was successfully treated by partially removing the graft after Catcher's mask cranioplasty.

Materials and methods: Aside from the cost of cranial artificial implants, our simple method saves the cost of subsequent removal and implantation surgeries in the process of cranioplasty trouble shooting.
