[Retracted] Investigation of the Effects of Large Bone Flap Craniotomy on Cerebral Hemodynamics, Intracranial Infection Rate, and Nerve Function in Patients with Severe Craniocerebral Trauma

Abstract

In order to explore the clinical value of large bone flap craniotomy, the effects of standard large bone flap craniotomy on cerebral hemodynamic indexes, incidence of postoperative intracranial infection, and neurological function in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma are investigated. 89 patients with severe craniocerebral trauma admitted from January 2020 to June 2021 are analyzed retrospectively. All patients are divided into a large craniotomy group (n = 45) and control group (n = 44) according to different surgical methods. The large craniotomy group is treated with large craniotomy decompression, and the control group is treated with traditional craniotomy decompression. The incidence of intracranial infection in each group is recorded, and NIHSS is applied to observe the neurological function recovery of 2 groups before and 1 month after operation. Besides, the patients are followed up after surgery and the Kaplan–Meier survival curve is obtained to compare the survival rate of patients in the two groups. It is clearly evident that the two surgical methods have certain clinical efficacy in the treatment of patients with severe craniocerebral trauma. Comparatively, the large craniotomy can further improve brain blood supply and improve neurological function recovery. Also, it can obtain low incidence of postoperative adverse reactions and intracranial infection.

Diagnostic value of serum NLRP3, metalloproteinase‐9 and interferon‐γ for postoperative hydrocephalus and intracranial infection in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma

“…Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as an acquired insult to the brain caused by an external mechanical force, which may contribute to temporary or permanent impairment (Capizzi et al., 2020). With the rapid development of industry and transportation, the rate of accidents is increasing year by year, accompanied by the increased number of patients with craniocerebral trauma, and severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI), as a common type of disease in neurosurgery, often results in the loss of nerve function, contributing to severe disturbance of consciousness, seizures, aphasia, hemiplegia and even a long‐term vegetative state (Li et al., 2022). Due to the rapid onset and development of craniocerebral trauma, patients need to be resuscitated in a timely manner, and craniotomy is one of the primary treatments for sTBI; it can effectively remove intracranial haematomas and reduce mortality, but is prone to postoperative hydrocephalus (Rufus et al., 2021; Wani et al., 2013).…”
