Secondary decompressive craniectomy after severe traumatic brain injury: a retrospective cohort study
Secondary DC may serve as an effective salvage intervention in sTBI patients with refractory intracranial hypertension following primary DC. Although these patients present with more severe initial conditions, secondary DC did not increase the risk of complications or lead to poorer outcomes. Ensuring adequate decompression during the initial surgery may help reduce the need for secondary intervention.
