Post craniotomy infections have generally been treated by debridement of infected tissues, disposal of the bone flap, and delayed cranioplasty several months later to repair the resulting skull defect. Debridement followed by retention of the bone flap has also been advocated. Here we propose an alternative operative strategy for the treatment of post craniotomy infections. Two patients presenting with clinical and radiographic signs and symptoms of post craniotomy infections were treated by debridement, bone flap disposal, and immediate titanium mesh cranioplasty. The patients were subsequently administered antibiotics and their clinical courses were followed. The patients treated in this fashion did not have recurrence of their infections during three-year follow-up periods. Surgical debridement, bone flap disposal and immediate titanium mesh cranioplasty may be a suitable option for the treatment of post craniotomy infections. This treatment strategy facilitates the eradication of infectious sources and obviates the risks and costs associated with a second surgical procedure.
