| Summary: | Abstract This letter addresses the article “Perioperative Risks of Intracranial Infection after duraplasty in Chiari Malformation Type I” by Balawi and Liao, published in the Egyptian Journal of Neurosurgery (Egypt J Neurosurg 40:58, 2025). While acknowledging the significance of the authors’ findings on risk factors for post-operative intracranial infections, we highlight the omission of critical variables such as the patient microbiome, recent advancements in surgical techniques, and post-operative care strategies. We argue that a more comprehensive understanding of infection risks should include these factors, as they play a crucial role in improving surgical outcomes. |
