[The value of possible skull-cap replacement surgery].
After describing the valence of the various possible plastic procedures for covering defects of the skull cap, the results obtained by the authors are presented. In childhood, autografting from the inner layer of the wing of the ilium or from the ribs is given preference. In adults, the authors carry out alloplasty with hot-polymerizing methacrylate in order to prevent a second surgical intervention for obtaining autogenous material. If surgery has to be carried out in the vicinity of the paranasal sinuses, autogenous cartilaginous cubes must be inserted between the sinuses and the alloplasty because direct contact of the alloplastic material with the sinuses exposed to infection hazards must be avoided.
