Abstract
Cranial bone defects in 27 patients were repaired with bone flaps pres erved under the scalp. Head trauma (thirteen patients), cerebrovascula r disorder (five patients), postoperative brain swelling (seven patien ts), and cerebral infective disease (two patients) accounted for the c ranial defects. The bone flaps are reimplanted after 14-98 daps. The f ollow-up period was 6 to 26 months. We have encountered no complicatio ns related to this technique in 27 consecutive cases.
