Abstract:Cranioplasty is a common surgical procedure used to restore the shape of the calvaria. Autogenous bone flaps provide biological repair with the least morbidity to the donor location. One method for reusing bone autograft during cranioplasty involves low-temperature preservation followed by autoclaving. According to the literature, there was a good to modest improvement in the skull's symmetry, cosmesis, scars, and contour. It was determined that autoclaved frozen autogenous cerebral bone flaps are a safe and r… Show more
