Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Cranio-maxillofacial Surgery
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Skull base surgery presents significant challenges in reconstruction.
  • Restoration of function and appearance after ablative surgery is crucial.
  • Interdisciplinary tumor boards are standard for patient case review.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate treatment algorithms and standard procedures in extracerebral skull base surgery.
  • To discuss current techniques and new approaches for hard and soft tissue reconstruction.
  • To emphasize reconstructive strategies following skull base tumor resection.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing multiplanar reconstruction with MRI/CT imaging and virtual 3D planning for precise surgical planning.
  • Employing intraoperative navigation for complete tumor resection with safety margins.
  • Reviewing reconstructive options including local flaps, free flaps, and alloplastic materials.

Main Results:

  • Local flaps offer low complication rates and reliable results for small defects.
  • Free flap surgery enables reconstruction of extensive tissue defects.
  • Alloplastic materials serve as an alternative for bone defect reconstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Skull base reconstruction demands a multidisciplinary approach.
  • A combination of advanced planning, navigation, and tailored reconstructive techniques is essential.
  • Current and novel methods aim to optimize outcomes in skull base surgery reconstruction.
