The digital skull shaping technology of CT three-dimensional reconstruction technology is a revolutionary progress in skull repair surgery. CT three-dimensional reconstruction simulates the natural shape of the skull according to the patient's skull defect. After five procedures, such as CT data processing, medical 3D reconstruction, surface drawing of skull natural surface, computer graphics and image aided design, and digital manufacturing of titanium metal, a personalized titanium skull was accurately designed and prefabricated to repair the defect for the patient, and was successfully fixed on the head of the patient during the operation. This technology realizes the precise combination of titanium alloy skull and defect, the effective mechanical protection of brain tissue, and the good treatment effect. At the same time, it also relieves the pain of patients, greatly reduces the treatment risk, shortens the postoperative recovery period of patients, and can quickly resume work and integrate into society.

Although skull repair is not a very difficult operation in the field of neurosurgery, and the risk factor is decreasing, whether it is suitable for each patient depends on the specific situation of the patient. If the skull defect is less than 3 cm in diameter, and the area is protected by temporal muscle, the elderly have little exercise and may be re-injured, then there is always a certain risk in surgery, and titanium mesh still has some shortcomings such as expensive price and unsatisfactory heat insulation. So skull repair surgery is not necessary.
