Key Points

  • To evaluate the effects of early versus delayed cranioplasty post-decompressive craniectomy on safety and recovery outcomes.
  • Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of available studies.
  • Included diverse studies on cranioplasty timing and outcomes.
  • Analyzed the need for future multicenter, randomized controlled trials.
  • Found mixed outcomes regarding surgical safety and functional recovery.
  • Indicated that clearer outcome measures are necessary for future research.

Abstract

The meta-analysis produced mixed results and required a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial with specified outcome measures to establish a balance between surgical safety and functional recovery.
