This point is of great importance as, with our indication for decompression craniectomy, potentially almost a third of patients will not be able to return to their homes and, despite having good initial family support, their families will not be able to cope with the burden. In our series, 35.7% of survivors at one year said they could remain alone at home without assistance for a variable period of time.</p><p id="par0260" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">One of our main objectives was to find out whether or not patients and family members were satisfied with the surgery. This issue can be difficult to measure, as there is a significant bias due to the ethical and socioeconomic individualities of each family.</p><p id="par0265" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">They were asked the question, “Would you make the same decision (decompressive hemicraniectomy) again with your family member?”; 78.94% answered that they would, which correlates quite well with the data obtained by previous studies in this area<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2,9,15,28</span></a>; 15.7% said they would not and 5.2% did not answer.</p><p id="par0270" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Among those not satisfied, we found the presence of very severe sequelae, such as waking coma, blindness and complete aphasia, and the fact that this group of patients was older than the satisfied group (age 61 vs 52.7).</p><p id="par0275" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The resignation in terms of the sequelae of a malignant infarction which was noted during the telephone conversations does not prevent family members from singing the praises of the life-saving nature of the hemicraniectomy, and the role of the neurosurgeon, previously non-existent, is seen to be greatly reinforced and supported, including at the family level. In light of the data, the families express complete approval of hemicraniectomy, showing us how important it is that we mediate more when it comes to making decisions for others. We must not fall into the so-called disability paradox, which tends to underestimate a person’s ability to adapt to a new disability situation.</p><p id="par0280" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Many interviewees seemed hesitant before answering the question, while others were even offended to be asked whether performing life-saving surgery on their family member had been the right thing to do.</p><p id="par0285" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The moral aspect that constantly permeates our work can cause our interviewees not to answer freely or not to be as honest as we might hope, camouflaging what they are really thinking. These rates of acceptance must therefore be contextualised to give us a holistic view of what the prognosis of decompressed malignant infarction really involves through more objective data, as we provide in this review.</p><p id="par0290" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In the indication for decompression surgery, the decision about which ultimately falls to the neurosurgeon, the family must take an active part, and we must not ignore the patient’s own wishes in life.
