Addressing Temporal Muscle Atrophy and Enhancing Cranioplasty Outcome: A Technical Note
Using a dual-layer dural substitute during DC effectively prevents adhesion formation, reducing wound healing complications. This technique improves subsequent CP success by facilitating TM elevation, preserving its function, and protecting underlying brain structures. It also shortens surgical time, minimizes blood loss, reduces hospital stays, and lowers postoperative epilepsy rates.
