Due to trauma, infection, or deformity, some patients may have a defect/abnormality of their skull.  Cranioplasty is a surgical procedure performed to reconstruct this. The procedure involves using the patient’s own skull or sometimes synthetic material (i.e. titanium, acrylic, or plastic) to restore the integrity and appearance of the skull.

Before and After

Cranioplasty is a surgical procedure in which a section of the skull is repaired or replaced. This can be done for a variety of reasons, including trauma, infection, or deformity. The procedure involves removing a section of the skull and replacing it with a synthetic or biological material to restore the integrity and appearance of the skull.

Cranioplasty uses synthetic material or autograft to recreate a missing portion of the skull. After creating an incision, the material is shaped to fit precisely and secured using screws or other devices. The scalp is closed using sutures or staples and the patient may need to stay in the hospital for monitoring. Recovery time depends on the surgery's extent and the patient's health.
