Decompressive craniectomy (DC) with dural grafting may be performed in patients with moderate (Glasgow-Coma-Scale [GCS] score 9-12 points) or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI; GCS score <or= 8 points) and threatening herniation. However, its effectiveness especially after primary craniectomy is still discussed due to missing evidence of improved outcome. The objectives of this study were to show the incidence of recurrent intracranial hypertension after primary DC, to identify predictive parameters for secondary DC, and to evaluate the long-term neurological performance 12 months after TBI.
