The reverse question mark and L.G. Kempe incisions for decompressive craniectomy: A case series and narrative review of the literature

CONCLUSION: The utility of the LGK incision is comparable with the classic RQM incision to treat acute brain injuries, where an urgent decompression must be performed. Some of these cases include malignant ischemic strokes, ICH, and empyema. No differences were observed between both techniques in terms of prevention of scalp necrosis and general cosmetic outcomes.PMID:35855131 | PMC:PMC9282772 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_59_2022
