    The split calvarial graft is a versatile option for facial reconstruction. This technique offers a reliable source of bone for maxillofacial defects with minimal complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Regenerative Medicine

    Background:

    • Facial reconstruction often requires bone grafts.
    • Maxillofacial defects present unique surgical challenges.
    • Alternative graft sources have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of split calvarial grafts in facial reconstruction.
    • To assess the versatility and reliability of this grafting technique.
    • To discuss the advantages and limitations of split calvarial grafting.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 37 patients.
    • Analysis of 60 split calvarial grafts used in facial reconstruction.
    • Assessment of graft outcomes including reabsorption, infection, and extrusion.

    Main Results:

    • Split calvarial grafts demonstrated versatility in 37 patients.
    • Sixty grafts were used with no significant clinical reabsorption, infection, or extrusion.
    • The technique showed minimal limitations and low morbidity.

    Conclusions:

    • Split calvarium is a readily available and reliable source of membranous bone.
    • It is effective for grafting maxillofacial defects.
    • This method offers a low-morbidity solution for facial reconstruction.
