Reconstruction of cranial base defects using the Medpor Titan implant: cranioplasty applications in acoustic neuroma surgery.
INTRODUCTION Reconstruction of cranial defects is an essential component of skull base surgery as it aids in restoring functionality, providing coverage of intradural structures, and achieving optimal cosmesis. In acoustic neuroma surgery, tumor removal and subsequent reconstruction of the skull base defect are equally important elements. All three approaches utilized in acoustic neuroma surger...
متن کاملCranioplasty with the Medpor porous polyethylene flexblock implant. Technical note.
The authors describe the use of a porous polyethylene Flexblock implant for cosmetic cranioplasty. The implant may be used to cover any small- or medium-sized (< 8 cm) cranial defect, offering similar cosmetic results to standard alloplast cranioplasty while decreasing operation time. The porous implant design permits ingrowth of soft tissue and bone to increase implant strength and decrease th...
متن کاملReconstruction of cranial bone defects using alloplastic implants produced from a stereolithographically-generated cranial model.
Larger cranial bone defects can cause cranial disfigurement as well as potential mechanical brain trauma. Conventionally pre-fabricated acrylic cranioplasty implants require complicated procedures and result in potential dimensional and contour inaccuracies. The development of stereolithographic techniques for generating acrylic resin skull models allows the pre-fabrication of custom acrylic re...
متن کاملProsthetic Rehabilitation of Bilateral Cranial Defects: A Case Report
Case Report Abstract Cranial defects may result from trauma, disease, and congenital malformations. Repair of cranial defects is indicated to protect underlying brain tissue, provide pain relief at the defect site, improve cosmesis, and minimize patient anxiety. Cranioplasty is accomplished either with osteoplastic reconstruction or restoration with alloplastic implants. Cranial alloplastic imp...
متن کاملCustomised Cranioplasty Implant for Decompressive Craniectomy Patients -A Technical Note.
Cranioplasty is a commonly performed procedure following decompressive craniectomy. The patients are usually young earning persons and increasing cost of treatment is difficult to bear especially in low and middle income countries. A variety of options are available for cranioplasty ranging from autologus bone graft to xenograft and synthetic materials. Presently the autologous cryopreserved or...
