Risk factors for problems after skull repair surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at people who had a skull repair surgery (cranioplasty) to see what problems might happen afterward. Researchers want to find out what factors raise the risk of complications so they can help future patients recover more safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had skull repair surgery (cranioplasty) between January 2015 and July 2023.
- Your surgery was done at Qilu Hospital, Tangdu Hospital, or Daping Hospital in China.
- This was your first time having a skull repair surgery (no prior cranioplasty).
- You do not have serious health problems like severe heart, liver, kidney, or immune system issues.
- Your skull defect was not present at birth (not congenital).
- Your medical records from the surgery are complete and available.

This study looks at how often problems happen after surgery to remove skull base tumors. It may help doctors better understand and reduce risks for future patients.
This trial compares two materials used to repair a missing or damaged part of the skull after surgery or injury. It aims to find which approach works better for people who need this type of reconstruction.
This trial compares doing skull repair and a brain fluid shunt in a single operation versus doing them separately. It looks at which approach is safer and more effective for people who have both a skull defect and hydrocephalus after a brain injury or stroke.
This trial tests a special 3D bone graft material to repair skull defects after brain surgery. It may help people who need a strong, custom-fit implant to protect their brain.
This study tests whether repairing a missing piece of skull very soon after surgery to relieve brain swelling can help patients recover better. The repair uses the patient's own saved bone flap.
This is an observation study that compares outcomes after two types of skull repair: PEEK and titanium. It may help doctors understand which option works best and how patients recover, without requiring an experimental treatment plan.
