[Cosmetic cranioplasty using the bone chips and Biobond (EDH-adhesive): technical note].

ABSTRACT

A new and simple cosmetic procedure for the prevention of skin depression produced by burr-holes was presented. A mixture of the bone chips obtained at craniotomy and Biobond in a volume ratio of 73 was used to fill the bone defect of the burr-holes in 65 cases. The postoperative appearance was excellent cosmetically. This mixture had good plasticity, and could be formed into any irregular shape desired, and there was no increase in the incidence of infectious complications.
