Watertight-intent Versus Non-watertight Management in Decompressive Craniectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
By Zixuan Ma and Junfeng Feng.
Abstract
Watertight-intent dural reconstruction may reduce incisional cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage after decompressive craniectomy but may prolong surgery. We aimed to evaluate whether watertight-intent reconstruction, compared with non-watertight management, was associated with direct postoperative incisional CSF leakage and operative time.
