TLDR
Almost one-third of the patients that are operated on for bone flap reimplantation after DC suffer from surgery-associated complications, which might raise the question, if subsequent operations can be avoided, if an artificial bone is initially chosen for cranioplasty.About:

TL;DR: Risk factors that predispose patients to an increased risk of cranioplasty complications and death are evaluated to provide the neurosurgeon with predictors of morbidity and mortality that could be incorporated in the clinical decision-making algorithm.

Complications Associated with Decompressive Craniectomy: A Systematic Review
David B. Kurland,Ariana Khaladj-Ghom,Jesse A. Stokum,Brianna Carusillo,Jason K. Karimy,Volodymyr Gerzanich,Juan Sahuquillo,J. Marc Simard +7 more
TL;DR: Overall, one of every ten patients undergoing DC may suffer a complication necessitating additional medical and/or neurosurgical intervention, which means Neurologists and neurosurgeons must be aware of all the potential complications of DC in order to properly advise their patients.

Outcomes of cranioplasty with synthetic materials and autologous bone grafts.
Jaakko M. Piitulainen,Jaakko M. Piitulainen,Tommi Kauko,Kalle Aitasalo,Kalle Aitasalo,Ville Vuorinen,Pekka K. Vallittu,Jussi P. Posti +7 more
TL;DR: Synthetic materials for cranial bone defect reconstruction exhibit more promising outcomes compared with autograft, and there were differences in survival rates among synthetic materials.

Complications following cranioplasty and relationship to timing: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
James G. Malcolm,Rima S. Rindler,Jason Chu,Jonathan A. Grossberg,Gustavo Pradilla,Faiz U. Ahmad +5 more
TL;DR: Early cranioplasty within 90days after decompressive craniectomy is associated with an increased odds of hydrocephalus than with later craniplasty, but no difference in odds of developing other complications.

Early decompressive surgery in malignant infarction of the middle cerebral artery: a pooled analysis of three randomised controlled trials

TL;DR: In patients with malignant MCA infarction, decompressive surgery undertaken within 48 h of stroke onset reduces mortality and increases the number of patients with a favourable functional outcome.

TL;DR: DESTINY showed that hemicraniectomy reduces mortality in large hemispheric stroke, and the steering committee decided to terminate the trial in light of the results of the joint analysis of the 3 European hemicaniectomy trials.

TL;DR: Surgical decompression reduces case fatality and poor outcome in patients with space-occupying infarctions who are treated within 48 h of stroke onset and there is no evidence that this operation improves functional outcome when it is delayed for up to 96 h after stroke onset.

TL;DR: In this trial, early decompressive craniectomy increased by more than half the number of patients with moderate disability and very significantly reduced the mortality rate compared with that after medical therapy.
