[Plastic reconstruction fo cranial vault defects].

Abstract

Peculiarities of performance of the reconstructive operation performed in 350 patients at primary surgical treatment, or later on, at the period of primary treatment of a patient at a hospital and at his readmission with the aim of cranioplasty are considered. The authors recommend to perform the reconstructive operation in presence of a cranial vault defect at the time of primary surgical treatment, or 2-5 weeks later, when preparing a patient for such an operation.
