EVALUATION OF CRANIOPLASTY RESULTS USING AUTOLOGOUS BONE AT THAI NGUYEN CENTRAL HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the results of cranioplasty using autologous bone at Thai Nguyen Central hospital. Subjects: 97 patients who met the selection criteria were operated on at Thai Nguyen Central hospital from January 2022 to June 2024. Method: Descriptive study. Results: Among the 97 patients who underwent surgery, 91,7% had favorable outcomes, while 8,3% had unfavorable outcomes. The complication rate was 26,80%, with the most common being infection (9,3%), epilepsy (7,2%), and bone resorption (4,1%). Conclusion: The results showed no statistically significant differences in complication rates across age groups, gender, comorbidities, surgical time, or graft placement. However, a higher complication rate was observed in cases with longer surgical times. This study emphasizes the importance of managing risk factors to reduce postoperative complications.
