Pune : Doctors in Pune have successfully replaced 60% of a
four-year-old girl's damaged skull with a customised three-dimensional individualised polythelene bone.
The bone was made by a US-based firm as per the exact measurements and shape of the skull defect. The doctors claimed this was the first such skull implant surgery successfully carried out in India.
The girl had sustained extreme skull damage in a four wheeler
accident near Shirwal on May 31 last year. She was then discharged
from hospital after two critical surgeries. Doctors readmitted her to hospital this year and she successfully underwent skull implant surgery on May 18.
The girl's mother, a home-maker, said, " She is already attending
school and enjoying playing with friends. She has become a happy and chirpy child, like before." Her father is a school bus driver. The
family lives in Kothrud. ......
