Overview

abstract

  • A retrospective review of the neurosurgical complications that occurred between 1980 and 1989 at The Children's Hospital in Boston is described. The results are compared with reports from other craniofacial centers. A total of 355 cases are analyzed, with an overall complication rate of 8.6%. Infection and cerebrospinal fluid leaks are the most common problems. This article discusses techniques incorporated into personal methods to reduce the incidence of these complications.
