Abstract: Decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) is a critical procedure used to alleviate elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) in emergent situations. It is typically performed to create space for the swelling brain and to prevent dangerous and potentially fatal increases in ICP. DHC is indicated for pathologies ranging from MCA stroke to traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage—essentially any cause of refractory brain swelling and elevated ICPs. Scalp incisions for opening and closing the soft tissues during DHC are crucial to… Show more
