| Abstract | Purpose: The most frequent postoperative complication in autologous cranioplasty (AC) is infection. European recommendations include osseous sampling before cryogenic storage of a bone flap. We evaluated the clinical impact of this sampling. Methods: All patients who underwent decompressive craniectomy (DC) and AC in our center between November 2010 and September 2021 were reviewed. The main outcome was the rate of reoperation for infection of the cranioplasty. We evaluated risk factors for bone flap infection, rate of reoperation for any reason (hematoma, skin erosion, cosmetic request, or bone resorption), and radiological evidence of bone flap resorption. Results: A total of 195 patients with a median age of 50 (interquartile range: 38.0-57.0) years underwent DC and AC between 2010 and 2021. Of the 195 bone flaps, 54 (27.7%) had a positive culture, including 48 (88.9%) with Cutibacterium acnes. Of the 14 patients who underwent reoperation for bone flap re-removal for infection, 5 and 9 had positive and negative bacteriological cultures, respectively. Of patients who did not have bone flap infection, 49 and 132 had positive and negative bacteriological cultures, respectively. There were no significant differences between patients with and without positive bacteriological culture of bone flaps in the rates of late bone necrosis and reoperation for bone flap infection. Conclusions: A positive culture of intraoperative osseous sampling during DC is not associated with a higher risk of re-intervention after AC. |
