Pectoralis major flap in composite lateral skull base defect reconstruction.
OBJECTIVE To report our experience with the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMF) for the reconstruction of composite lateral temporal bone defects extending beyond the temporal line. DESIGN Retrospective review and illustration of specific technical modifications. SETTING Academic tertiary care center. PATIENTS Eight patients with composite lateral skull base defects that were reconst...
متن کاملLocoregional and free flap reconstruction of the lateral skull base.
Lateral temporal bone reconstruction after ablative surgery for malignancy, chronic infection, osteoradionecrosis, or trauma presents a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. This complexity is due to the 3D nature of the region, potential dural exposure, and the possible need for external surface repair. Successful reconstruction therefore requires achieving separation of the dura, oblitera...
متن کاملPalatal flap modifications allow pedicled reconstruction of the skull base.
OBJECTIVES Defects after endoscopic expanded endonasal approaches (EEA) to the skull base, have exposed limitations of traditional reconstructive techniques. The ability to adequately reconstruct these defects has lagged behind the ability to approach/resect lesions at the skull base. The posteriorly pedicled nasoseptal flap is our primary reconstructive option; however, prior surgery or tumors...
متن کاملThe inferior turbinate flap in skull base reconstruction
BACKGROUND As the indications for expanded endonasal approaches continue to evolve, alternative reconstructive techniques are needed to address increasingly complex surgical skull base defects. In the absence of the nasoseptal flap, we describe our experience with the posterior pedicle inferior turbinate flap (PPITF) in skull base reconstruction. DESIGN Case series. SETTING Academic tertiar...
متن کاملTemporalis muscle flap for reconstruction of skull base defects.
BACKGROUND The temporalis muscle flap (TMF) is a valuable reconstructive technique utilized in a variety of challenging defects. However, its use for repair of skull base defects is less commonly reported. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted for 35 patients who underwent reconstruction of skull base defects between March 1999 and July 2006 at a tertiary referral hospital. Patie...
