[Cranioplasty of bone defects with "Codubix" plates].

Codubix plates made of polypropylene-polyester fabric were used for reconstructive cranioplasty of cranial vault defects after trauma. This method protected well the brain against secondary trauma with a good cosmetic result of the operation. By eliminating the necessity of use of patient's own bones the duration of operation was shortened, the patient avoided postoperative pain, and the possibility of postoperative complications was reduced. During a two-year period of follow-up no complications were observed.
