Cranioplasty is a reconstructive surgical intervention to repair cranial defects. This picture shows a skull fixation following careful surgical opening of the skull, or craniotomy. The piece of bone is temporarily lifted to allow access to the brain for surgery. After the brain surgery is performed, the piece of bone replaced and stapled back together using fixation screws, and other techniques. The bone will eventually re-grow and the skull will be fully continuous again.
