"Decompressive craniectomy is widely used as the treatment of intractable intracranial hypertension in patients after severe traumatic brain injury and ischemic stroke . It is believed that sufficiently large and correctly performed craniectomy may significantly improve patients outcome. In our opinion \u201Epreventive decompressive surgery\u201C up to 24 hours from stroke onset means prevention from irreversible damage of the brain tissue and can reduce disablity . But undisputably the most important factor that is still subject of discussion is the timing of such a radical surgical procedure, in order not only to reduce mortality but also to improve the quality of life of the patients." . . . . .
