Abstract
Craniectomy following head injury is a common surgery with a high rate of complications. Postoperative infection following cranioplasty leads to shortening of the scalp flap and leads to problems in closure. Various techniques have been described like local flaps, wide tissue mobilization and tissue expansion. Another technique, not so well described in literature, is Intraoperative expansion. We present a case of similar calvarial defect managed by intraoperative expansion to enable tension-free closure of the scalp.
Keyword: Cranioplasty; Calvarial defect.
