Interventions
PROCEDURE

Craniotomy

Intervention: Bone flap replaced after dural closure Additional Information: This procedure involves creating a single free bone flap using high-speed drills. The bone is repositioned and secured using mini plates or sutures after the surgical intervention is completed. Post-operative monitoring will include assessment for CSF leakage, wound healing, and neurological recovery.

PROCEDURE

Craniectomy

Intervention: Bone permanently removed Additional Information: In this approach, the bone is removed in pieces using rongeurs, leaving an open dural surface without replacement of the bone. The dura is closed with sutures, and dural augmentation may be performed as needed. Post-operative assessment will focus on complications such as pseudomeningocele, CSF leakage, and extended hospital stays.
