Abstract:

Objective

To explore the clinical effect of modified stepwise decompression technique combined with decompressive craniectomy under intracranial pressure monitoring in the treatment of high intracranial pressure.

Methods

A retrospective case-control study was used to analyze the clinical data of 312 patients with intracranial hypertension caused by various causes who needed decompressive craniotomy admitted to Neurosurgery Department of the Second People's Hospital of Guiyang from January 2017 to June 2020. The patients were divided into modified stepwise decompression combined with decompressive craniectomy group (improved group) and conventional decompressive craniotomy group (conventional group). All patients received real-time intracranial pressure monitoring during the operation. The changes of intraoperative intracranial pressure, postoperative complications and prognosis of the two groups were compared and analyzed.

Results

In the conventional group, intracranial pressure decreased sharply, rebounded and became stable after cutting the dura mater. In the modified group, intracranial pressure decreased gradually and stabilized. There were significant differences in intraoperative brain swelling, encephalocele, delayed contralateral hematoma, postoperative GCS score, pupil changes, complications and GOS score 6 months after operation between the two groups (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Modified stepwise decompression technique combined with decompressive craniectomy can effectively control intracranial pressure, reduce intraoperative encephalocele, and reduce the formation of delayed hematoma. It is a safe, effective and feasible method for decompressive craniectomy.
