Abstract:This article has reviewed and analyzeed the research progress of cranioplasty from the aspects of necessity, postoperative complications, repair materials, and repair timing. Cranioplasty surgery is necessary for patients with skull defects and can improve their quality of life. Common complications of cranioplasty include epidural hematoma, subcutaneous effusion, scalp incision infection, intracranial infection, exposure of repair materials, and post-cranioplasty seizures. Compared with traditional repair, early skull repair has many benefits, and its timing needs to be selected according to the type of disease and the patient′s condition; the development of repair material-loaded drug technology and the development of hydroxylimestone bone replacement technology has given clinical staff the choice of materials more and better choices; technologies such as computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) allow autologous skulls to demonstrate their unique advantages in their applications. This article provides a reference for the clinical application of cranioplasty.
