35. Cranioplasty outcomes following decompressive craniectomy: a 20-year retrospective observational study of 469 patients managed by maxillofacial surgery at a level I trauma centre
Cranioplasty following craniectomy functions to protect the brain, restore craniofacial cosmesis, and promote neurological recovery. Previous studies on cranioplasty outcomes have been restricted by limited sample size. The current retrospective observational study aims to summarise cranioplasty outcomes in a cohort of 469 patients over a 20-year period.
