A comprehensive algorithm for anterior skull base reconstruction after oncological resections.
OBJECTIVE To present our method for anterior skull base reconstruction after oncological resections. METHODS One hundred nine patients who had undergone 120 anterior skull base resections of tumors (52 malignant [43%], 68 benign [57%]) via the subcranial approach were studied. Limited dural defects were closed primarily or reconstructed using a temporalis fascia. Large anterior skull base def...
متن کاملAnterior skull base reconstruction after cranio-facial resections using galeal pericranial flap.
The tumors of the anterior cranial cavity can either be malignant or benign. They usually arise in the nasal or Para nasal sinuses. Treatment of these tumors includes major craniofacial resection and reconstruction to prevent cerebrospinal fluid leak and meningitis. In this study we are presenting a technique which is simple and cost-effective. We are reporting a series of nine cases in which t...
متن کاملSeptal flip flap for anterior skull base reconstruction after endoscopic resection of sinonasal cancers: preliminary outcomes
Over the past decade surgery for sinonasal malignancies encroaching into the anterior skull base (ASB) has evolved from open craniofacial resection to the use of minimally invasive transnasal endoscopic approaches. Using these techniques, ASB reconstruction is most often performed in a multilayer fashion with autologous free grafts (fascia lata or iliotibial tract) which leads to the production...
متن کاملNasal reconstruction in surgery of the anterior skull base.
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of a number of surgical maneuvers in nasal reconstruction of a diverse population of patients undergoing skull base surgery. Study design We conducted a retrospective review of a cohort of patients undergoing nasal reconstruction during surgery of the anterior skull base and craniovertebral junction. METHODS All patients undergoing skull base...
متن کاملFungal infection of the sinus and anterior skull base
Abstract Background: Invasive fungal infection is an opportunistic infection caused commonly by mucoraccae and aspergillus. It mostly occurs in patients with underlying disease. Since it has a high mortality and morbidity rate, considering a treatment strategy seems necessary. Objective: Since there has not been a clear protocol for treating these patients, we decided to establish...
