Skull Restoration with Neuroplastic Surgery | Dennis’ Story

Skull restoration with neuroplastic surgery, Dennis' story - Life-saving surgery in Tanzania after a two-story fall left Dennis, then age 20, alive, but with 45% of his skull missing. Stalled in his recovery due to incomplete wound healing and underlying bone infection, Dennis turned to Johns Hopkins neuroplastic surgeon Chad Gordon and neurosurgeon Judy Huang, who devised a two-surgery approach. The first procedure addressed the infected bone segment that was causing severe deformity, and the second offered a transformative solution: a custom implant to shape Dennis’ head, replace the missing skull and protect his brain. Now fully healed, Dennis can play soccer and return to school. #NeuroplasticSurgery #JohnsHopkins www.hopkinsmedicine.org/neuro...

i’m about to get my skull implant in 3 days and seeing your life go back to normal makes me so happy. I was in a car crash in August 2021 and a lot of my skull also had to be removed, and now, after 5 months of waiting, i know everything is finally go back to normal

[@davidhu3]

Update: it was done on 31 March and it went very well! Life is back to normal now.

How's it now and what's the cost, please tell 🙏🙏

[@levo2344]

Where did you have it done? Which doctor and clinic? Is the scar big or visible?

[@davidhu3]

@@RaniDevi-gp6vb It’s good. It’s not perfect, the piece is a bit out of place, not perfect size for my head, but very close, nothing to worry about. Where there is the cut at the top, where i keep my hair the longest, there is like a difference in height. Skull implant is a bit lower than the rest of the head, but the fit is perfect at the front on my face, on the back of my head and near the ear. I am happy with the implant.

If you pay really close attention to the video you'll see that it was actually the surgeons who reconstructed Dennis' skull, not some fairytale being.

[@jimmymungai522]

Where is the Tanzania story? The John Hopkins doctor said that the "..Tanzanian doctors did a wonderful job...." While not rakinga anything away from this clip at John Hopkins I think the Tanzanian story also should be told.......

[@williamwhite5407]

God Bless all doctors and nurses who change the lives of so many. In Jesus name many Blessings to you and yours. I've wondered about help for childhood cancer facial radiation treatment... restoration for those kids . Close to my heart .

[@Christina_360]

Does JH only do skull reshaping and implants for people who have had some kind of trauma to the skull or do they also do this procedure for someone who is naturally born with a flat head? I’ve been researching this procedure for YEARS. Thank you.
