Do I need to keep the skull after craniotomy?

The skull after craniotomy needs to be kept, mainly according to the specific circumstances. Generally speaking, if the brain pressure after surgery is not too high, it is expected that the patient can be put back. If the surgery is more complicated, the condition is more serious, and it is expected that there is no way to put back the skull in the near future, then it should not be kept. When the condition is stable in the later stage, the skull is repaired mainly by using titanium mesh. The above health science popularization knowledge is for reference only. The specific situation needs to be examined in a regular hospital and judged by a professional doctor. Please do not make diagnosis or treatment by yourself.
