Minimizing Invasiveness in Neurosurgical Osteotomies: A Comparative Histomorphometric Study of Piezoelectric Craniotomy versus High-Speed Drill
Piezoelectric craniotomy preserves residual osteoblast viability and leptomeningeal integrity while demonstrating lower rates of thermally induced gliosis and histiocytic infiltration compared to high-speed drills. This suggests the piezoelectric osteotome's minimal invasiveness in bone, meningeal, and brain tissue.
