    Cranioplasty with a frozen and autoclaved bone flap (1990)
    Springer
    Acta neurochirurgica 102 (1990), S. 38-41

    Notes: Summary 27 cases of cranioplasty with autogenous bone grafts stored in a deep-freezer and autoclaved before use are reported. The results of follow-up for an average period of one year were satisfactory from the standpoint of brain protection and cosmetic reconstruction. A small area of absorption of grafted bone was observed in two cases on the follow-up skull roentgenograms. No serious complications were seen except in one case, whose bone flap had to be removed due to an epidural abscess. Experiments revealed that deep-freezing and autoclaving had only minimal effects on bone structure, although osteocytes degenerated. Autogenous bone flap after deep-freezing is a useful material for cranioplasty but sterilization before use is indispensable. Autoclaving is a simple method for sterilization of the flap, available in any operating theatre. It does not increase the risk of postoperative complications such as infection or absorption.

    New radiolucent head fixation made of engineering plastics for intraoperative CT scanning (1994)
    Springer
    Acta neurochirurgica 127 (1994), S. 121-123 
    Details
    ISSN: 0942-0940
    Keywords: Instrumentation ; head fixation ; intraoperative CT ; open neurosurgery

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary A newly developed head fixation for intraoperative computerized tomographic (IOCT) scanning is presented. The system is developed based on the head holder of multipurpose head frame and is made of two kinds of advanced engineering material; carbon fiber reinforced plastic for head holder and frames, polyamide-imide polymer for joints, screws, and head pin. Clinical tests including autoclaving and sterilization were performed and revealed all materials had sufficient strength for clinical use. This fixation system enables us to increase the efficacy of IOCT scanning during open-field neurosurgery.
