4-year-old girl gets India's 1st successful skull implant in Pune
Doctors in Pune successfully replaced 60% of a four-year-old girl's damaged skull with a customised three-dimensional individualised polyethylene bone. Neurosurgeon Vishal Rokade claimed this was not only the first successful skull implant surgery in India but also in Asia Pacific. The girl suffered major injuries after a road accident on May 31, 2017 and was re-admitted in May this year.
