The 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 کاملIn reference to "extended inferior turbinate flap for endoscopic reconstruction of skull base defects".
Objective When the use of the nasoseptal flap for endoscopic skull base reconstruction has been precluded, the posterior pedicle inferior turbinate flap is a viable option for small midclival defects. Limitations of the inferior turbinate flap include its small surface area and limited arc of rotation. We describe a novel extended inferior turbinate flap that expands the reconstructive applicat...
متن کاملCadaveric study for skull base reconstruction using anteriorly based inferior turbinate flap.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To demonstrate the feasibility of an anteriorly pedicled inferior turbinate flap (AITF) as a method for endoscopic reconstruction of anterior skull base defects in the absence of a nasal septal flap. STUDY DESIGN Cadaveric feasibility study. SETTING University-affiliated tertiary medical center. MATERIALS AND PATIENTS A cadaveric model was used to investigate the fea...
متن کاملExtended Inferior Turbinate Flap for Endoscopic Reconstruction of Skull Base Defects
As experiencewith the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) for skull base tumors continues to grow, surgical techniques must continue to evolve to solve increasingly complex challenges. EEA is now used for many extensive lesions that were once thought to be resectable only by traditional open approaches. Along with the increased use of EEA for resection, however, comes the need for more versatil...
متن کاملNasal reconstruction using the inferior turbinate mucosal flap.
Reconstruction of nasal defects can be a difficult task if large amounts of nasal mucosa are missing. We have found the inferior turbinate mucosal flap to be a reliable and effective flap in a series of 16 patients undergoing nasal reconstruction or repair of septal perforations. Most of these patients had insufficient mucosa to use traditional flaps harvested from the nasal floor or the latera...
