Letter to editor: Scalp incision technique for decompressive hemicraniectomy: Comparative systematic review and meta ‑analysis of the reverse question mark versus alternative retroauricular and Kempe incision techniques of published cases

AbstractThe “Letter to the Editor” titled “Scalp incision technique for decompressive hemicraniectomy: comparative systematic review and meta-analysis of the reverse question mark versus alternative retroauricular and Kempe incision techniques of published cases” provides a detailed analysis of differen t scalp incision techniques in decompressive hemicraniectomy procedures. While commendable for its systematic approach and valuable insights, the letter has several limitations, including a lack of transparency in the search strategy, failure to address potential sources of bias, and a narrow focus on technical aspects without considering broader outcome domains and practical considerations. Despite these limitations, the letter underscores the importance of evidence-based decision-making in neurosurgical practice and calls for further research to address these gaps.
