This new device allows to obtain a satisfying craniotomy closure in a short time, if compared to Titanium plates.
Positioning is simple and requires approximately 2 minutes; there is no need of specific instruments.
Post surgery CT scans prove flap positioning is correct and stable. There are no artifacts.
In our experience there was no case of lesion of the dura or of the brain nor any case of extradural bleeding, as demonstrated by the CT and MRI examinations performed both immediately after surgery and in the following months. Moreover, the fixing capacity has always proved to be valid without evidence of dislocation of the device or of the craniotomy spot.
In our opinion, NtCranial® is a simple and practical tool in the hands of the neurosurgeon and permits a safe quick closure after cranial surgery.
