Timing of cranial reconstruction after cranioplasty infections: are we ready for a re-thinking? A comparative analysis of delayed versus immediate cranioplasty after debridement in a series of 48 patients

Alessandro Di Rienzo et al.

Summary: The optimal management of cranioplasty infections remains contentious, with suggestions of infected bone/implant removal and prolonged antibiotic therapy before reconstruction. Longer wait times between surgeries may increase risks and burdens. Significant differences were observed between two groups in terms of treatment failures, operative time, germ identification, and hospital stay length. Aggressive field debridement and immediate replacement of infected cranioplasty showed potential as a safe and valuable option in selected patients.

Cranial Surgical Site Infection Interventions and Prevention Bundles: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Michael Mann et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify and characterize interventions aimed at reducing the incidence of cranial surgical site infections. Single interventions like hand-washing protocols and bundled interventions involving cultural changes showed potential in decreasing cSSI rates. While evidence supporting specific interventions is limited, there is some support for the use of vancomycin powder and implementing cultural changes to reduce SSI rates.
