Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the medical field especially is concerned with a kind of auxiliary device and fixing device for skull connection. BACKGROUND

[0002] Craniotomy is a surgical treatment method for treating intracranial diseases, and the skull needs to be opened and the lesion site needs to be exposed during the operation. When patients suffer from diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage and intracranial tumor, these intracranial lesions may need to be surgically removed. At this time, the positioning of the required operation site needs to be performed first, and then the skin needs to be incised, opened and the skull flap and the exposure of intracranial lesions are removed under general anesthesia. After the intracranial lesions are exposed, the lesion tissue is removed under a microscope or a neuroendoscope. After craniotomy, the skull flap needs to be returned most of the time, but the existing technology uses a milling cutter to open the skull. After milling, a gap is formed between the free bone flap and the normal skull. The bone pieces cannot be placed directly on the bone window, but titanium sheets can be used for connection. One end of the titanium sheet is placed on the edge of the bone window, and the other end is placed on the free bone flap. Titanium screws are used for fixation. According to the size of the bone window, a proper number of titanium nails and titanium sheets are selected to fix the skull. However, the nut of the titanium screw is left on the outer surface of the skull, forming a hard protrusion, which forms a hard protrusion subcutaneous nodule, is not beautiful, and has an adverse effect on the patient's psychology. At the same time, the titanium sheet fixed on the surface of the skull has poor fixation of the skull flap. In the early stage after the operation, if external force acts on the skin surface of the wound, the skull flap is easily depressed. Only reoperation can reset it. Therefore, the applicant has invented a skull flap connecting device. The skull flap connecting device is placed in the bone gap to support the free bone flap and the skull window, which can solve the above problems.
