Nowadays, with the occurrence of various accidents, the incidence of skull defects has increased greatly. If the skull is injured, the patient's health is naturally in crisis. Only by receiving the skull repair as soon as possible to restore the integrity, can the greater risk be avoided.
When it comes to craniotomy, a lot of people think it can be dangerous. But it is not as terrible as you imagine. Cranial repair surgery is actually more common in neurosurgery. The safety of the operation is very high, and after continuous development, the technology has been very mature. And do skull repair surgery is the key to the use of skull material, skull material is directly related to the effect of the operation.
Many ordinary local hospitals carry out skull repair surgery, most of them use titanium alloy mesh as skull repair material, but in fact, this material is not very ideal, often there may be a variety of postoperative problems. For example, postoperative infection, rejection reaction, abrasion of scalp, influence of CT magnetic resonance examination, patients sensitive to the external hot and cold environment, etc., are more likely to occur.
In addition, there will even be the phenomenon of material exposure. Many people confuse infection with rejection, and some people even mistake infection of titanium skull repair for rejection. In fact, infection and rejection are two completely different kinds of discomfort, infection is usually manifested as subcutaneous fluid, swelling, etc., and rejection is generally caused by the patient's personal constitution and immune system, symptoms are mainly reflected in the surrounding scalp tissue is not adapted to the titanium mesh, skin ablation damage, and even cause the exposure of titanium alloy material. Therefore, patients who take titanium alloy to repair the skull must pay more attention to the changes in the head after surgery. Once the discomfort symptoms appear, they must go to the hospital for symptomatic treatment in time. If necessary, replacement materials can be carried out.
