Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy, incidence of postoperative complications, and the quality of life in patients with severe craniocerebral injury undergoing standard large trauma craniotomy. METHODS: Seventy-eight patients with severe craniocerebral injury who had been admitted to Hubei Hanchuan People's Hospital were selected retrospectively and assigned into an observation group and control group according to the treatment received, with 39 patients in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with conventional decompressive craniotomy and those in the observation group with standard large trauma craniotomy. The prognosis (GOS score), intracranial pressure before and after surgery, neurological functions (NIHSS score), cerebral hemodynamics (Vm, Vs, PI), quality of life (SF-36 score) and postoperative complications were compared. RESULTS: The number of patients whose GOS scores were graded 5 was markedly higher in the observation group than that in the control group (P<0.05). The postoperative intracranial pressure and NIHSS scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.001). The postoperative Vm, Vs and PI were lower in the observation group than those in the control group, respectively (P<0.001). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of complications in the two groups (P>0.05). The SF-36 scores in the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Standard large trauma craniotomy is effective in treating patients with severe frontotemporal craniocerebral injury. It decreases intracranial pressure, improves neurological function and quality of life and results in a good prognosis. AJTR
