    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Cranioplasty is a surgical procedure to repair skull defects.
    • Traditional methods can be complex and time-consuming.
    • Existing techniques may have limitations in cosmetic or functional outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified cranioplasty technique.
    • To simplify the prosthesis fabrication process.
    • To evaluate the cosmetic and functional results of the modified technique.

    Main Methods:

    • A modification of the Galicich and Hovind cranioplasty method.
    • Steel wire mesh fixation to the bone defect edges using stainless wires.
    • In-situ acrylic mixture application over the mesh, cooled with saline.
