The template routed patient-specific implant 1-stage cranioplasty technique refines previous approaches through precise template localization on the skull, enabling an accurate craniotomy to match a prefabricated PSI. This single-stage procedure rivals hand-shaped methods in aesthetics and compares with the outcomes of 2-stage PSI cranioplasties. Additional studies are needed to validate our results.
