Encasing the Encephalon: Enhancing PsychosocialRehabilitation

by with No Comment Blog

ABSTRACT
Cranial defects can be broadly classified as congenital and acquired defects. The occurrence of cranial injuries has increased
tremendously and due to awareness amongst the population in concern to aesthetics requiring the skull reconstruction, rehabilitation of these defects has also increased in this modern age. Rehabilitation of these defects with prosthesis only acts as a
protective shell but also improves the neurological status of the patient. These cranial defects require surgical correction or repair
which is named as Cranioplasty. Its aim not merely lies in aesthetically rehabilitating the defect but mainly providing relief to the
psychological problems but also improves the patient’s social acceptance and performances. With the evolving trends in leaps
and bounds, newer biomedical tools technologies and materials are made available to the surgeons and the Prosthodontists for
a better outcome in both aesthetics and functions. This article describes a series of case reports on restoring the defect along
with the psychological confidence in the patients. One of the techniques using bone cement in combination with the poly-methyl
methacrylate is used, which is the novelty of this case report series. The management team constituted of Prosthodontists and
neurosurgeons, thereby improving his neurological status and cosmetics.

Comprehensive functional outcome analysis and importance of bone remodelling on personalized cranioplasty treatment using Poly (methyl methacrylate) bone flaps

Abstract

Cranioplasty involves the surgical reconstruction of cranial defects arising as a result of various factors, including decompressive craniectomy, cranial malformations, and brain injury due to road traffic accidents. Most of the modern decompressive craniectomies (DC) warrant a future cranioplasty surgery within 6–36 months. The conventional process of capturing the defect impression and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) flap fabrication results in a misfit or misalignment at the site of implantation. Equally, the intra-operative graft preparation is arduous and can result in a longer surgical time, which may compromise the functional and aesthetic outcomes. As part of a multicentric pilot clinical study, we recently conducted a cohort study on ten human subjects during 2019–2022, following the human ethics committee approvals from the participating institutes. In the current study, an important aspect of measuring the extent of bone remodelling during the time gap between decompressive craniectomy and cranioplasty was successfully evaluated. The sterilised PMMA bone flaps were implanted at the defect area during the cranioplasty surgery using titanium mini plates and screws. The mean surgery time was 90 ± 20 min, comparable to the other clinical studies on cranioplasty. No signs of intra-operative and post-operative complications, such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage, hematoma, or local and systemic infection, were clinically recorded. Importantly, aesthetic outcomes were excellent for all the patients, except in a few clinical cases, wherein the PMMA bone flap was to be carefully customized due to the remodelling of the native skull bone. The extent of physiological remodelling was evaluated by superimposing the pre-operative and post-operative CT scan data after converting the defect morphology into a 3D model. This study further establishes the safety and efficacy of a technologically better approach to fabricate patient-specific acrylic bone flaps with improved surgical outcomes. More importantly, the study outcome further demonstrates the strategy to address bone remodelling during the patient-specific implant design.

This blog post can tackle the misconception that neurosurgery only deals with physical brain conditions. Discuss how neurosurgery plays a vital role in treating certain mental health disorders like severe depression, OCD, and even chronic pain. Briefly explain some of the surgical techniques used, like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), for these conditions and emphasize the positive impact they can have on a patient’s life.

When Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.
