ABSTRACT
Peculiarities of performance of the reconstructive operation performed in 350 patients at primary surgical treatment, or later on, at the period of primary treatment of a patient at a hospital and at his readmission with the aim of cranioplasty are considered. The authors recommend to perform the reconstructive operation in presence of a cranial vault defect at the time of primary surgical treatment, or 2-5 weeks later, when preparing a patient for such an operation.

The specific features of surgical treatment of contusion foci in patients of various age groups were studied basing on analysis of 606 cases. Two groups of cases were analysed: those with an isolated brain contusion and cases with contusion and compression of the brain by hematoma and bone fragments. It is shown that removal of the contusion foci in patients of various age groups improves the results of treatment. The patient's age has an essential influence on the choice of surgical tactics in brain contusion.
