How does it get secured in the abdomen? I am imagining it like plate armor over the belly.

There is an incision made in the abdomen and a pocket is made where the skull flap is inserted. Basically the skull sits under the skin. This keeps the bone in an environment that is isotonic and warm, plus the hospital cannot lose the bone.

This made me laugh. How big are the skull flaps?

Nah, that would be more like a kangaroo pouch. This is more like a turtle shell.
