Abstract
Mortality in traumatic intracranial hypertension (ICH) unresponsive to medical therapy is nearly 100%. Efficacy of craniectomy for traumatic uncontrollable ICH is unproven. Standard decompressive craniectomy (DC) includes dural opening and duraplasty. Craniectomy without durotomy has not been studied. This analysis was performed to determine feasibility, efficacy, and complications associated with decompressive craniectomy without durotomy compared to standard craniectomy with duraplasty.
