Decompressive craniectomy for refractory intracranial hypertension

Original language description

Decompressive craniectomy is widely used as the treatment of intractable intracranial hypertension in patients after severe traumatic brain injury and ischemic stroke . It is believed that sufficiently large and correctly performed craniectomy may significantly improve patients outcome. In our opinion ?preventive decompressive surgery? up to 24 hours from stroke onset means prevention from irreversible damage of the brain tissue and can reduce disablity . But undisputably the most important factor thatis still subject of discussion is the timing of such a radical surgical procedure, in order not only to reduce mortality but also to improve the quality of life of the patients.
