Secondary decompressive craniectomy did not increase complication risks or worsen outcomes in severe traumatic brain injury patients.
Patients requiring secondary craniectomy showed lower GCS scores and a higher preoperative intracranial pressure compared to those with primary craniectomy.
Logistic regression revealed preoperative intracranial pressure and craniectomy area as independent predictors of the need for secondary decompressive craniectomy.
Results indicate the importance of adequate initial decompression to potentially reduce the necessity of secondary surgical intervention.
