Opening the skull, which is necessary for certain neurosurgeries, exposes the brain to the risk of infection. To limit this risk and facilitate surgery, a portion of the bone is often temporarily removed. This procedure, known as a craniectomy, allows easier access to the brain and facilitates drainage.

To restore the integrity of the skull and protect the brain, a cranioplasty is usually scheduled a few months later. This involves reconstructing the missing bone with a biocompatible material.

What is cranioplasty?

Cranioplasty is a surgical procedure used to reconstruct the skull when it is damaged or deformed. Such damage can be caused by accidents, disease, or birth defects.

First documented in ancient times, this surgical technique has evolved significantly over the centuries. Today, it offers remarkable aesthetic and functional results.

Beyond aesthetics: the multiple benefits of cranioplasty

Beyond simple bone repair, cranioplasty requires careful planning and advanced technical expertise. By restoring the integrity of the cranial cavity, cranioplasty provides multiple benefits to the patient:

Main indications for cranioplasty

Cranioplasty is a surgical procedure indicated in several situations:

Preoperative evaluation of cranioplasty

Before proceeding with cranioplasty in Turkey, a thorough clinical examination of the skull defect, surrounding tissues, and search for infectious or neurological signs is essential.

Additional tests are also necessary:

Finally, a detailed medical history, including head injuries, previous surgeries, comorbidities and current treatments, allows for an accurate diagnosis and optimal planning of the procedure.

Materials used in cranioplasty in Türkiye

Reconstructing the skull during cranioplasty is a critical step that requires careful material selection. This choice depends on many factors, such as the extent and location of the lesion to be filled, the patient's general health, and his or her expectations for the aesthetic result.

Natural bone grafts

Natural bone grafts used in cranioplasty include:

Synthetic materials

Synthetic materials include:

In Turkey, the choice of the ideal material is a complex decision that must be made on a case-by-case basis, carefully weighing the advantages and disadvantages of each option.

Process of skull reconstruction in Turkey

Cranioplasty is a surgical procedure used to reconstruct a damaged part of the skull, often following trauma or neurosurgery.

Performed under general anesthesia, an incision is made in the scalp to gain access to the damaged area. The surgeon then places a bone implant that is customized to the shape of the patient's skull to fill the defect. The implant can be autologous (from the patient),allogeneic (from a donor),or synthetic.

Once firmly in place, the incision is closed and a bandage is applied. This delicate procedure requires a high degree of surgical expertise to ensure optimal aesthetic and functional results.

Postoperative care after cranioplasty

Postoperative care plays a critical role in the success of cranioplasty. It includes:

In-hospital monitoring

Medical teams continuously monitor the patient's vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, breathing) and neurological status.

Regular examinations are also performed to detect any signs of infection, bleeding, or other problems.

Medical treatment

Medications are prescribed to relieve postoperative pain.

Antibiotics are often given to prevent the risk of infection.

Rehabilitation

Gentle, specific exercises are recommended to prevent stiffness, improve circulation, and strengthen muscles.

In the case of neurological deficits, appropriate re-education is provided.

Regular follow-up

Regular consultations are held to monitor healing, the condition of the graft or implant, and the patient's neurological status. In addition, imaging studies (CT, MRI) may be performed to verify the correct position of the graft and to detect any complications.

Possible complications after cranioplasty

Although cranioplasty is generally a safe procedure, as with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of complications:

Most patients in Turkey do not experience major complications after cranioplasty. However, it is important to report any unusual signs, even minor ones, to your doctor immediately.
