Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Plastic Surgery
Craniofacial Reconstruction

Background:

Reconstruction of calvarial defects requires robust vascularized bone grafts.
Traditional methods may face limitations in vascular supply and graft viability.

Observation:

A novel technique utilizing a long vascular pedicle cranial bone flap based on the pericranium is described.
The temporalis muscle, with its fascial layers and vascular pedicles, forms the base of the flap.

Findings:

This flap design ensures adequate vascularization of the skull bone flap.
The technique is illustrated through two case reports.

Implications:

This vascularized cranial bone flap offers a promising method for reconstructing complex calvarial defects.
