    Tissue transfers can cover exposed cranial implants, offering a reconstructive solution. This study found success in 5 out of 9 patients undergoing this procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Exposed cranial implants pose risks of infection and poor aesthetics.
    • Tissue coverage is crucial for protecting implants and promoting healing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of tissue transfer techniques for covering exposed cranial implants.
    • To present the rationale and outcomes of this reconstructive approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical intervention involving tissue transfer.
    • Application in a cohort of 9 patients with exposed cranial implants.

    Main Results:

    • Successful coverage achieved in 5 out of 9 patients.
    • Demonstrated feasibility of tissue transfer for implant coverage.
