ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Advances in anterior skull base surgery have resulted in the increasing diversification of reconstructive techniques. New vascularized flaps have been suggested in the last years, some quite similar, whereas new uses and applications have been suggested for some vascularized flaps, which have already established their value over the last decades. In this article, we describe the developments in skull base reconstruction with vascularized flaps and analyse the international experience in the use of vascularized flaps published with a focus on the last 18 months. RECENT FINDINGS:
Over the past 18 months, a number of novel or modified vascularized intranasal flaps have been described, focusing on reconstruction of larger defects, the medial orbital wall, the anterior skull base (septal flip-flap) and dissection of the nasoseptal flap from the SPA foramen. Extranasal vascularized flaps, which have been around for a long time, still have their rightful place in skull base reconstruction and have recently been adjusted for endoscopic use.SUMMARY:
We present an overview of the latest developments in vascularized flaps (intranasal and extranasal), their new implications, their modifications and complications or predictions of viability.
