Skull base reconstruction

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2003
Reconstruction of skull base defects following tumor resection is of paramount importance in avoiding serious and life-threatening complications. Cranial base surgery has evolved and outcomes have steadily improved as increasingly reliable reconstructive techniques have been adapted to repair the challenging wounds in this complex anatomic region.

Contemporary skull base reconstruction

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2004
Tumors of the skull base that would have been considered inoperable thirty or forty years ago are now routinely resected with reliable results due to the advancement of modern reconstructive techniques. High mortality rates were common prior to the use of vascularized tissue for skull base repair.

Microvascular Reconstruction of the Anterior Skull Base

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2022
Anterior skull base defects present a unique reconstructive challenge. Risk factors such as previous operation, radiation and infection require a multidisciplinary approach to create a stable wound. Reconstructive microsurgery serves an important role when attempts with pericranial flap placement and nonvascularized graft obliteration fail.

Lateral Skull Base and Auricular Reconstruction

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2023
Reconstruction of the lateral temporal bone with adequate functional and cosmetic outcomes depends on a multidisciplinary approach including the head and neck surgeon, reconstructive surgeon, neurotologist, and anaplastologist. Approaching the defect includes consideration of the location, tissue type, function, and patient/tumor characteristics ...

Skull base reconstruction and rehabilitation

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2001
This article separates skull base reconstruction into the surgical procedures available for immediate reconstruction of a small base defect and the secondary rehabilitative procedures that may be performed at a later date, usually for functional or cosmetic needs.

Skull Base Reconstruction

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2011
The authors' goal was to develop an updated and comprehensive algorithm for skull base reconstruction based on data from the 10-year period following their initial report.Reconstructive outcomes were analyzed from 250 patients undergoing skull base reconstruction from 2000 to 2009.Thirty-nine local or regional pedicled flap reconstructions and 211 free

Microvascular reconstruction of the skull base

Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 2000
Cranial base reconstruction is challenging, not only because of its technical difficulty, but also because of the potentially life-threatening complications that may arise in the case of reconstructive failure. Thus, a successful outcome following skull base tumor ablation often depends as much on the reconstruction as it does on the resection.

Reconstruction of Skull Base Defects

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2005
Skull base defects are classified into three regions based on the anatomic location and growth pattern of the tumors. The goals of reconstruction are based on the necessity of obtaining a watertight seal between the cranial contents and the aerodigestive tract, thereby avoiding any communication, which could result in ascending meningitis.

Complications of Skull Base Reconstruction

2012
The skull base is an anatomically challenging location that is unique in that it requires three-dimensional considerations when formulating a reconstruction plan. Various methods have been described for repair including open, endoscopic and endoscopic-assisted approaches.

Updates in reconstruction of skull base defects

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2014
Skull base surgery has undergone a fundamental transformation with the development and rapid adoption of endoscopic endonasal expanded approaches. Defects created from these newer approaches have necessitated an evolution of novel reconstructive techniques, which are reviewed here.New reconstructive techniques continue to be developed for repairing ...
