Abstract
Cranioplasty is a routine procedure in the practice in neurosurgery and craniofacial surgery. For the closure of the cranial defect, it may be difficult or impossible to split the bone sufficiently to obtain enough bone for complete closure of the defect in younger children. Thus, sometimes there is the need to use allografts, which may not be widely available in rural practice. We present 2 cases of cranioplasty with widely available and used polypropylene abdominal wall mesh. To add rigidity to the construct, the mesh was organized in a multilayered fashion. Postoperative follow-up showed good functional and cosmetic results.
