J Neurosurg 112:1120–1124, 2010Outcomes of cranial repair after craniectomyClinical articleVictor chang, M.D.,1 Paul hartzfelD, M.D.,1 Marianne langlois, P.a.-c,2asiM MahMooD, M.D.,1 anD DonalD seyfrieD, M.D.11Department of Neurosurgery, Henry Ford Health System, Detroit, Michigan; and 2Division of Neurosurgery,Baystate Health System, Springfield, MassachusettsObject. Hemicraniectomy is a commonly practiced neurosurgical intervention with a wide range of indications and clinical data supporting its use. The extensive use of this procedure directly results in more cranioplasties to repair skull defects. The complication rate for cranial repair after craniectomy seems to be higher than that of the typical elective craniotomy. This finding prompted the authors to review their experience with patients undergoing cranial repair.Methods. The authors performed a retrospective review of 212 patients who underwent cranial repair over a 13-year period at their institution. A database tracking age, presenting diagnosis, side of surgery, length of time be- fore cranial repair, bone graft material used, presence of a ventricular shunt, presence of a postoperative drain, and complications was created and analyzed.Results. The overall complication rate was 16.4% (35 of 213 patients). Patients 0–39 years of age had the low- est complication rate of 8% (p = 0.028). For patients 40–59 years of age and older than 60, complication rates were 20 and 26%, respectively. Patients who originally presented with traumatic injuries had a lower rate of complica- tions than those who did not (10 vs 20%; p = 0.049). Conversely, patients who presented with tumors had a higher complication rate than those without (38 vs 15%; p = 0.027). Patients who received autologous bone graft placement had a statistically significant lower risk of postoperative infection (4.6 vs 18.4%; p = 0.002). Patients who underwent cranioplasty with a 0–3 month interval between operations had a complication rate of 9%, 3–6 months 18.8%, and > 6 months 26%. Pairwise comparisons showed that the difference between the 0–3 month interval and the > 6-month in- terval was significant (p = 0.007). The difference between the 0–3 month interval and the 4–6 month interval showed a trend (p = 0.07). No difference was detected between the 4–6 month interval and > 6-month interval (p = 0.35).Conclusions. The overall rate of complications related to cranioplasty after craniectomy is not negligible, and certain factors may be associated with increased risk. Therefore, when evaluating the need to perform a large decom- pressive craniectomy, the surgeon should also be aware that the patient is not only subject to the risks of the initial operation, but also the risks of subsequent cranioplasty. (DOI: 10.3171/2009.6.JNS09133)Key WorDs • cranioplasty • craniectomy • cranial repairranieCtomy has been practiced since antiquity.2 In modern neurosurgical practice, large fronto- temporoparietal craniectomies are performed fora number of indications. In the setting of traumatic brain injury, craniectomy has been shown to be effective in the management of high intracranial pressure.1,3–5,10,14,16,19,24 In the stroke literature there is increasing evidence that early hemicraniectomy also plays a role in decreasing the mortality rate, as well as improving overall neurological outcomes in patients with malignant edema after middle cerebral artery infarction.12,18,25,26 Craniectomies may also provide protective benefits after intracranial aneurysm rupture with intracerebral hemorrhage.20 Because a grow- ing set of indications and clinical data support its use, the hemicraniectomy will probably remain a relatively com- mon neurosurgical intervention for a variety of patho- logical processes. With the use of this procedure comes a corresponding number of cranioplasties performed to replace the bone defects created. Although a simple pro-cedure conceptually, the replacement of a bone flap after cranioplasty is not without significant risks. In addition to the concomitant risks inherent in any cranial opera- tion, there are also the risks to which the procedure is predisposed, such as postoperative infections (with for- eign body implantation), subdural or epidural fluid accu- mulations, seizures, and fixed neurological deficits.The observation that complications occur more fre- quently after cranial repair than after other elective cra- nial procedures prompted our review of cranioplasty after craniectomy over the past 13 years. We identified 213 patients who underwent bone flap replacement after craniectomy for a variety of indications.MethodsWe generated a patient database by querying proce- dures with the current procedural terminology code for Cranial repair after craniectomy cranioplasty and replacement of bone flap from January 1995 through May 2008. This database was generated through our institution’s operative logs, and medical re- cords were reviewed for each included patient to deter- mine the circumstances involving each cranial repair or cranioplasty. Of these patients, only those who had un- dergone cranioplasty for previous craniectomies were en- tered into our database. The variables under consideration included sex, age at initial operation, presenting diagno- sis, side of operation, age at date of bone flap replacement, time period between removal and replacement of bone, material used to secure the bone plate (sutures vs titanium plates), material used for the bone graft (autologous bone, methylmethacrylate, or titanium mesh), whether a ven- tricular shunt was in place, whether a postoperative drain was placed (either subgaleal, epidural, or both), length of follow-up, and the occurrence of complications. The full course of follow-up was evaluated in each patient so that complications after discharge from the cranioplasty pro- cedure would also be included. Two hundred and eigh- teen patients were identified and catalogued with these variables.Operative techniques tended to vary among sur- geons. The size of the bone flap removed depended on the type of procedure being performed. In cases of ruptured intracranial aneurysms, a standard pterional craniotomy was typically performed. In traumatic brain injury or stroke a larger frontotemporoparietal craniectomy was performed measuring 10 × 15 cm. The bone flap created for tumor surgeries was typically dependent on the size of the lesion to be excised. Bone flaps removed during the initial craniectomy were frozen and stored in our in- stitution’s tissue bank. These flaps were later identified and thawed prior to reimplantation for subsequent cra- nial repair. In addition, the type of postoperative drain used also differed among surgeons, and different types were used depending on the procedure. With regard to ventricular shunts, programmable valves were used more frequently as the technology evolved during the course of this study.Statistical AnalysisStatistical analysis was performed using both Wil- coxon 2-sample tests as well as chi-square tests. Wilcoxon 2-sample tests were used to analyze the continuous vari- ables of age and the time interval between the original operation and subsequent cranioplasty. The chi-square test was used to analyze the categorical variables as men- tioned above. In addition, complications were further cat- egorized. Any epidural or subdural fluid collections that necessitated a repeated operation were combined into 1 category: postoperative fluid collections. Infections in- volving either repeated operations or intravenous antibi- otic use were combined. Postoperative seizures and other miscellaneous complications were the other 2 categories. A chi-square test was used to compare whether the pres- ence of a drain affected the outcome of postoperative flu- id collections. Infections were also analyzed to determine whether there was a correlation with the type of material used for the bone plate.ResultsWe identified a total of 218 patients with cranioplasty for previous hemicraniectomy, 4 of whom were lost to follow-up with no information on complications. In addi- tion, 1 patient was listed twice, having undergone 2 cran- ioplasties. Another patient was removed from analysis because the time between removal and replacement was> 5 years, which we thought would be an outlier. Informa- tion from this patient’s first operation was recorded and he was counted once subsequently. Of the remaining 212 patients, 34 (16%) had complications. Complications con- sisted of subdural or subgaleal fluid collections or hema- tomas requiring repeated operations, infections, seizures, and individual cases of a sunken bone flap, and 1 patient who became brain dead during the procedure.At cranioplasty, the mean age ( SD) of the 34 pa- tients with complications was 48.6 16.1 years, while the mean age of the 178 patients without complications was 42.7 15.7 years, a statistically significant difference (p = 0.046). The mean interval between initial operation and cranioplasty for patients with complications was 5.6 3.2 months (median 4 months, range 0–36 months). For patients without complications, the mean interval was5.3 5.1 months (median 4 months, range 0 months to 3years). The difference here tended toward significance (p= 0.093). This result prompted further analysis, and the time between initial craniectomy and cranioplasty was divided as those performed within 3 months and those performed more than 3 months apart. Patients who un- derwent replacement within 3 months of removal were less likely to have complications than those with replace- ment surgeries after 3 months (9 vs 21%; p = 0.015).Results of complications stratified by categorical variable are summarized in Table 1. There was no sta- tistical significance with rate of complication based on sex (p = 0.547) or operative side (p = 0.581). For statisti- cal analysis, patient ages were subdivided into 3 groups: 0–39 years, 40–59 years, and older than 60. Patients in the 0–39 group had the lowest complication (7%; p = 0.015). The 40–59 and older than 60 age groups had complica- tion rates of 20 and 26%, respectively. Overall, patients younger than 40 were less likely to experience complica- tions than patients older than 40 (7 vs 22%; p = 0.005). The original indications for craniectomy were divided into 7 general categories: 1) subarachnoid hemorrhage for ruptured aneurysm; 2) traumatic injuries such as epidural, subdural, intraparenchymal hematomas, skull fractures, intractably elevated intracranial pressure, or penetrating trauma; 3) ischemic stroke; 4) tumors; 5) infectious pro- cesses such as cerebral abscesses, subdural empyemas, infected bone plates from previous craniectomies; 6) spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages, including rup- tured arteriovenous malformations; and 7) elective treat- ment for aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations. Of these categories, patients who originally presented with trauma had a lower rate of complications than those in other categories (9 vs 20%; p = 0.042). Conversely, pa- tients who presented with tumors had a higher complica- tion rate than those who did not (38 vs 15%; p = 0.023).Other variables such as the presence of a shunt, typeV. Chang et al.of material used for the bone flap, and material used to secure the bone did not show statistically significantTABLE 1: Cranioplasty complication rates stratified by baseline variables*differences. The complication rate among patients withshunts was higher, but this finding did not reach statis- tical significance (20 vs 15%; p = 0.494). One variable that tended toward significance was postoperative drain placement (p = 0.087), which prompted further analysis as to whether there would be an increased incidence of postoperative fluid collection. Thirteen patients (6.1%) experienced fluid collection complications. The differ- ence in the rate of fluid collection complications between patients with and without drain placement showed a trend toward significance (p = 0.065, chi-square test). Patients with drain placement had a fluid collection complication rate of 2.4% (2/84) compared with 8.6% (11/128) in pa-Variable No. of Patients No. W/ Com-plications (%) p Value tients without drain placement. In addition, we wanted to consider whether the material used for bone plate had any bearing on the rate of postoperative infections. Fifteen patients (7%) experienced an infectious complication. The difference in the rate of infections between patients who received autologous bone compared with other materials used was significant (p = 0.002). Patients with bone had an infection rate of 4.6% (8/175) compared with 18.9% (7/37) among patients with other materials (such as meth- ylmethacrylate or titanium mesh).Logistic regression using backward elimination was used to assess the best combination of variables associ- ated with complications. The variables to be considered in this analysis had probability values < 0.20 in the uni- variate analyses. These variables included diagnosis, age younger than 40 years, time to bone replacement < 3 months, material used to secure the bone (mini-plates vs sutures), and drain placement. For inclusion in the final model, variables had to have probability values < 0.05. Table 2 displays the ORs, corresponding CIs, and prob- ability values from the logistic regression. Age younger than 40 years, time to bone replacement < 3 months, and postoperative drain placement all reduced the risk of complications.DiscussionAs with any retrospective review, the results of the present study are influenced by certain biases that cannot be easily eliminated. Thus, the conclusions drawn here represent an observation of our collective experience with cranioplasty after craniectomy at our institution. The in- dications for performing hemicraniectomy were not stan- dardized among patients. The decision to undertake the procedure depended on the clinical judgment of each in- dividual surgeon. In addition, because multiple surgeons were involved in this study, there was no standardization of technique, which introduces a confounding factor. This difference in technique may also exist among individual surgeons because one would expect a surgeon’s technique to evolve over the period of 13 years, especially in light of previous complications. In addition, the craniectomy size was variable and this could also have confounded the observed results, as intuitively larger bone flaps may lead to a higher complication rate.Given the above limitations, a significant finding oflt 84 16 (19)rt 117 16 (14)both 11 2 (18)time from removal to replacement 0.0420–3 mos 89 8 (9)4–6 mos 69 13 (19)>6 mos 50 12 (24)diagnosis 0.018SAH 65 9 (14)trauma 79 7 (9)ischemic stroke 14 4 (29)tumor 13 5 (38)infection 15 2 (13)ICH (includes ruptured AVM) 21 5 (24)elective aneurysm/AVM 3 2 (67)othershunt placed 2 0 (0)0.494no 176 27 (15)yes 35 7 (20)drain placed 0.087no 128 25 (20)yes 84 9 (11)material used 0.308bone 175 26 (15)nonautologous bone 37 8 (22)material used to secure bone 0.088mini-plates 177 25 (14)suture 35 9 (26)* AVM = arteriovenous malformation; ICH = intracerebral hemor- rhage.the present study is the overall complication rate of 16% for cranial repair in a general neurosurgical practice. Considering the predisposing factors that might influence outcomes, younger patients tended to do better, although an 8% rate for those younger than 40 years of age is still significant. The fact that patients with head trauma who underwent cranioplasty also had better outcomes is prob- ably a reflection of age as well, because these patients were younger and probably had less brain atrophy or encepha- lomalacia resulting in less potential subdural space.

In reviewing the complications among patients with tumors, we found no instances of concurrent chemotherapy or radiation therapy. One patient in partic- ular had undergone 2 craniotomies previously for a recur- rent meningioma. This patient had received radiosurgery 6 months after a previous resection, and was at least 2 years out from radiosurgery at the time she suffered com- plications of cranioplasty. A more likely factor could be that older age among patients with tumors increases the risk of complications after cranioplasty. The results for patients with ischemic stroke were also higher overall at 29%, although this difference was not statistically signifi- cant. Again, age combined with what would probably be an increase in comorbidities could also be a factor. With such a low number of stroke patients in the study (14 to- tal), it is difficult to draw accurate conclusions. What does seem fairly certain is that when looking at predisposing factors that may influence the rate of complications after cranioplasty, age seems to be the central issue. Although certain presenting diagnoses may entail a lower (as with trauma) or higher risk (tumor) of complications, these dif- ferences could also be accounted for by age. This finding was supported by both in the univariate and multivariate analysis.To further our analysis we also wanted to evaluate which (if any) intraoperative factors would influence out- comes. Patients in whom sutures were used to secure the bone plate tended to have a higher rate of complications. After the introduction of titanium plating, sutures were no longer used for this purpose at our institution. Intuitively, one might expect an increased risk of subdural fluid col- lection after cranioplasty in patients who receive shunts because of the relative intracerebral hypotension that a shunt introduces. In addition, the presence of hardware could also introduce an increased risk of infection. The presence of a ventricular shunt did not seem to influence the complication rate after cranioplasty. The more recent use of programmable shunt valves may explain this result, as the ability to increase valve pressure in anticipation of bone flap replacement or after replacement can be a protective measure.The complication rates among patients with postop- erative drains and those without tended toward statistical significance (10 vs 20%; p = 0.069). Because drains are meant to prevent the primary complications of postopera- tive fluid collection or hematoma we compared rates of postoperative fluid collection among patients with drain placement. Despite the fact that the risk of fluid collec- tion among patients with drains was 2.4% compared with 8.6% in those without drains, the difference still tendedtoward statistical significance on univariate analysis. However, multivariate analysis did illustrate drain place- ment as a statistically significant protective factor with an OR of 0.34 (95% CI 0.14–0.82; p = 0.016). The use ofautologous bone versus synthetic materials did not show any statistical difference. Using autologous bone after it has been frozen and stored has been thought to increase the risk of infection or transmission of infection;27 how- ever, there is evidence that this may not be the case.11 In addition, the presence of foreign material may also pre- dispose to infection. In our study, patients in whom au- tologous bone was used showed a significantly lower rate of complications (4.6 vs 18.9%; p = 0.002) compared with patients who received all nonautologous materials. At our institution, the preferred material for cranioplasty was au- tologous bone whenever possible, which is supported by the results of our analysis.Regarding the timing of surgery after craniectomy, the suggested practice is to wait 3 months after the ini- tial operation before replacing the bone plate.23 However, some patients have manifested symptoms as a result of large cranial defects and sunken scalps, the so-called “syndrome of the trephined.”6,8,9 There are reports of re- versal of these symptoms after cranioplasty.21 In addition, the authors of other studies have demonstrated the pos- sibility of derangement in CSF dynamics7,8,17 and cerebral perfusion15,22,28 in the absence of the skull plate. All of this has prompted some groups to evaluate whether a shorter time frame for cranioplasty may result in improved out- comes.13 In our study the patients who underwent cranio- plasty within 3 months had a lower overall complication rate of 9%. This was significant compared with patients who underwent cranioplasty > 6 months after craniecto- my (p = 0.007), and tended toward significance in patients who underwent cranioplasty 4–6 months afterward (p = 0.07). This was also seen as a significant factor in a mul- tivariate analysis with an OR of 0.28 (CI 0.11–0.68; p = 0.004). In our practice, the interval between craniectomy and cranioplasty was based largely on individual patient recovery, and was not standardized. One observation is that patients with a long interval between the initial op- eration and cranioplasty tended to have more serious in- juries and worse neurological outcomes after the initial operation. Therefore, such patients would be predisposed to have a worse outcome after cranioplasty.In summary, the overall rate of complications related to cranioplasty after craniectomy is greater than with other standard elective cranial procedures. Advanced age appears to correlate with increasing risk of compli- cations. In addition, an interval of > 3 months between operations also appears to be a risk. The presence of a shunt did not have significant association with outcome. The use of a postoperative drain did show a benefit on multivariate analysis. The use of autologous bone graft material showed a decreased risk of infection compared with other materials. Although our study is retrospective in nature and as such does not provide extremely rigor- ous evidence to support any particular course of action, it does illustrate some important observations that we think are useful to consider.V. Chang et al.ConclusionsCraniectomy is a procedure with wide indications and will continue to be a part of general neurosurgical practice in the foreseeable future. Complications related to this procedure are not uncommon as illustrated in our study, and certain factors may predetermine increased risk. Therefore, when evaluating the need to perform a large decompressive craniectomy, the surgeon should be aware that the patient is not only subject to the risks of the initial operation, but also the risks of subsequent cranio- plasty. Most importantly, a heightened awareness of the patient’s risk during elective cranial repair, typically af- ter an extended recovery process, should be paramount in discussions with families as well as in the approach to perioperative care.DisclaimerThe authors report no conflict of interest concerning the mate- rials or methods used in this study or the findings specified in this paper.AcknowledgmentsThe authors wish to thank Lonni Schultz for her assistance with biostatistics, Farah Muller for help in compiling the patient database, and Sue MacPhee-Gray for editorial support.References1.
