Objective:

To propose and validate a 'Tissue Biophysics-Based Myocutaneous Flap Dissection Strategy' to optimize surgical outcomes in frontotemporal cranioplasty.

Key Findings:
  • The new strategy group had significantly lower intraoperative blood loss (128.18 ± 45.32 mL vs. 276.81 ± 68.54 mL, P < 0.001).
  • Operative time was shorter in the new strategy group (110.55 ± 18.27 min vs. 162.32 ± 22.65 min, P < 0.001).
  • Dural tear rate was reduced in the new strategy group (12.7% vs. 39.1%, P = 0.002).
  • Postoperative epidural hematoma incidence was lower in the new strategy group (10.9% vs. 30.4%, P < 0.001).
  • No significant differences were found in rates of other complications such as infection or epilepsy.
Interpretation:

Limitations:
  • Retrospective study design may introduce bias.
  • Limited to a single institution, which may affect generalizability.
Conclusion:
