Abstract

Cerebral edema and intracranial hypertension can occur through impaired autoregulation following traumatic brain injury (TBI). The role of decompressive craniectomy (DC) in severe TBI remains controversial owing to conflicting data, particularly from randomized controlled trials. Some argue that DC may simply increase the number of patients who survive but remain in a vegetative state. There are also differences in opinion regarding optimal surgical technique. This chapter summarizes the published evidenced-based guidelines on the utilization of DC for the treatment of severe TBI.
