I am assuming that craniomoty is intended to mean craniectomy. If this is the case, then the answer is no. By breaking this word into its subdivisional parts, or combining forms (crani/o and -tomy), it means surgical removal of a portion of the cranium (or skull). This procedure is used to eleviate intracranial pressure, to accomodate for swelling of the brain, or both after the occurance of a traumatic event. A depressed skull fracture could be the said event, which causes ICP and therefore indicate the need of a craniectomy.
