Abstract

Cranioplasty is done commonly following decompressing craniotomy following neurological trauma and other indications. Although a relatively simple procedure, cranioplasty is associated with a very high rate of complications. Among the most common complications is postoperative seizures. Seizures in immediate preoperative period can lead to trauma to the surgical site and lead to hematoma and risk of reexploration. We have devised a simple protective scalp protecting cap to be worn by the patient in the immediate preoperative period to protect the head from trauma. The cap is easy to fabricate, light and comfortable for the patient. We would like to share the same.
