Modern aspects of cranioplasty

Research into carnioplasty methods began in ancient times; according to archaeological research, the use of cranioplasty dates back to 7000 BC. Thus, cranioplasty was used by many ancient civilizations, including the Incas, Britons, Asians, North Africans and Polynesians. Indications for cranioplasty are the protection of the underlying brain parenchyma, since the absence of a bone flap and deformation of the brain in the postoperative period can lead to the development of post-trepanation syndrome, including various manifestations such as headache, occurrence of convulsive syndrome, behavioral disorders, weather dependence. Closing skull bone defects through reconstruction leads to normalization of intracranial pressure, restoring cerebrospinal fluid and hemodynamics, and improves cerebral metabolism. Cranioplasty has a significant impact on the quality of life of patients, Authors came to the conclusion that today it remains relevant, despite the development of new techniques and the use of new materials for cranioplasty, there are no specific algorithms and recommendations for the selection of materials
