"The MEDPORŽ Pterional Implant A Neurosurgical Approach" (2001)
The MEDPOR Pterional Implant, developed with Dr. Murali Guthikonda of the
Detroit Medical Center, Wayne State University, was designed specifically to
fill the hollow resulting after a pterional craniotomy during neurosurgical
procedures. Originally, Dr. Guthikonda used the MEDPOR TF Implant for this
application, (but felt that a smaller, more appropriately contoured implant
would require less intraoperative sculpting and be easier and faster to
utilize during the closing stages of his procedures. The new Pterional
Implant is smaller and is indicated to aid in correction of temporal hollowing
in patients who have had surgery involving the pterional approach to the cranium,
including pterional craniotomy.
