A modified middle fossa craniotomy technique allows harvesting a calvarial graft for tegmen defect repair. This approach avoids plate shortening and improves patient structural and cosmetic outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Middle fossa craniotomy is standard for facial nerve decompression.
  • Tegmen defects often require craniotomy plate shortening for repair.

Observation:

  • A superior extension of the middle fossa craniotomy allows for split-thickness calvarial graft harvest.
  • This technique facilitates direct repair of the tegmen defect.

Findings:

  • The described surgical modification enables calvarial graft harvesting.
  • The graft effectively repairs tegmen defects without compromising the craniotomy plate.

Implications:

  • This technique offers structural and cosmetic benefits by avoiding temporoparietal depression.
  • It presents an alternative for tegmen defect reconstruction in middle fossa surgery.
