Reverse rotation flap for reconstruction of donor site after vascular pedicled nasoseptal flap in skull base surgery.

چکیده
Endonasal skull base surgery is growing exponentially as a subspecialty. In recent years, advances in endoscopic techniques and intraoperative navigation systems have allowed us to expand the indications of endoscopic skull base surgery. Major skull base centers worldwide are addressing larger and more complex lesions using endoscopic techniques. As a consequence, the skull base defects are more challenging to reconstruct. In this report, we present a novel technique to reconstruct the denuded septum remaining after the use of the vascular pedicled nasoseptal flap.

Reconstruction of the pedicled nasoseptal flap donor site with a contralateral reverse rotation flap: technical modifications and outcomes.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS A pedicled nasoseptal flap is our preferred reconstructive technique after endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery. Its harvesting implies that the donor site (septal cartilage) is left bare. Secondary healing leads to crusting at the donor site that negatively affects the patient's quality of life and requires multiple outpatient debridements. A nasoseptal reverse rotatio...
متن کاملPedicled Nasoseptal Flap as Final Layer of Reconstruction for Skull Base Defects
Purpose: Assessment of the efficacy of nasoseptal vascularized flap (NSF) in reconstructing the skull base defects after transsphenoidal procedures and CSF rhinorrhea. Material and Methods: Thirteen patients with intraoperative diagnosis of skull base defects and/or CSF leak after endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery or preoperative diagnosis of CSF rrhinorhea were included in this study. Multila...
متن کاملA novel reconstructive technique after endoscopic expanded endonasal approaches: vascular pedicle nasoseptal flap.
BACKGROUND In patients with large dural defects of the anterior and ventral skull base after endonasal skull base surgery, there is a significant risk of a postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak after reconstruction. Reconstruction with vascularized tissue is desirable to facilitate rapid healing, especially in irradiated patients. METHODS We developed a neurovascular pedicled flap of the nas...

OBJECTIVES The introduction of the pedicled nasoseptal flap (NSF) has decreased postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak rates from >20% to <5% during expanded endoscopic skull base surgery. The NSF must be raised at the beginning of the operation to protect the posterior pedicle during the expanded sphenoidotomy. However, in most pituitary tumor cases, an intraoperative CSF leak is not exp...
متن کاملPalate Mucoperosteum: An Usefull Adjunct in Buccal Mucosa Reconstruction
Background: Palate is a complex structure separating oro- and nasopharynx. However, reconstruction of the defects of palate is much simpler because of the versatile mucoperiosteal flaps. Here, we present our experience of palatal mucoperiosteal flap used in different situations. Methods: Fifteen patients of palatal as well as buccal mucosa defects were reconstructed using either free or pedicl...
