After decompressive craniectomy for brain swelling, bone flaps need to be stored in a sterile fashion until cranioplasty. Temporary placement in a subcutaneous pocket (SP) and cryopreservation (CP) are the two commonly used methods for preserving bone flaps. Surgical site infection (SSI) is a serious complication of cranioplasty, and the storage method associated with a lower SSI incidence is favored. It is unclear, however, whether one storage method is superior to the other in terms of SSI prevention.
