In some accidents or direct injuries, a person may suffer skull fractures, which are cases that require careful evaluation and, in some instances, surgical intervention. At Dr. Ahmed El-Ghoul’s clinic, we provide comprehensive care for such injuries, from accurate diagnosis to performing the necessary surgical interventions using the latest tools and techniques.
These cases are diagnosed using CT scans of the brain, and in some situations, the physician may request an MRI scan. Surgical intervention involves elevating and repairing the fractures, and in some cases, replacing the broken part with metal plates or custom-made bone substitutes manufactured using 3D printing technology, which are precisely fitted to the patient. The fractures are then stabilized with delicate fixation devices. Thanks to the significant advancements in neurosurgery, skull fracture repair can now be performed with a high degree of safety, excellent protection of brain tissue, and improved cosmetic outcomes.
The goals of skull fracture repair surgery are:
Restore the bones to their natural position
Protect brain tissue from any damage
Restore the natural shape of the head and improve cosmetic appearance if needed
Restore quality of life as much as possible and allow the patient to return to normal daily activities
