Outcomes of Craniotomy Scalp Incision Using Cutting Micro-Needle Diathermy versus Traditional Stainless-Steel Scalpel
The study revealed no significant difference in the outcomes of craniotomy scalp incision between the two methods of making scalp incision. The study concludes that the use of diathermy in making scalp incision is not inferior to the use of the traditional scalpel, and the method of scalp incision may be left to the discretion of the surgeon.
