The use of surgical resection for large anterior skull base (ASB) tumors and sinonasal malignancies with intracranial extension will result in a large skull base defect. Reconstruction of large ASB defects using traditional techniques is high risk and may lead to postoperative cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leakage, meningitis, and an increase in mortality rate. The use of a pedicled double flap technique to reconstruct the ASB defect may decrease complications. This study presents the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent double flap reconstruction techniques after resection of their sinonasal malignancies with significant intracranial extension at Cho Ray hospital in Vietnam.The case series study was conducted at Cho Ray hospital from September 2010 to September 2020. All patients with large sinonasal malignancies that invaded intracranially underwent transnasal endoscopic surgery and subfrontal craniotomy. Reconstruction of large skull base defects (2 cm) were followed up by using the pedicled double flaps technique. This study was performed in line with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Approval of the study was granted by the Independent Ethics Committee of Cho Ray Hospital (Date: March 3, 2014/No: 11/BVCRHĐĐĐ).During September 2010 to September 2020, there were 75 patients who underwent a modified multilayer, double flap reconstruction technique after the resection of their ASB tumor. Skull base defects were commonly seen along the horizontal plate of the ethmoid bone and the ethmoid roof (98.6%). Large skull base defects (2 cm) accounted for 81.3% of cases. Overall, the risk of postoperative CSF leakage and meningitis after double flap repair was considerably low. Of all participants, only 1 experienced postoperative CSF leakage and 1 experienced postoperative meningitis. Despite the complications, these patients improved significantly and remained stable.The use of double vascularized pedicled flaps may decrease the incidence of postoperative CSF leakage and meningitis. This technique is an effective method for the reconstruction of ASB tumors with large defects. |
