Abstract

The goal of skull base reconstruction is to recreate the separation between the intracranial space, sinonasal cavity, and external environment, thus reducing leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), pneumocephalus, and risk of meningitis. Free tissue transfer has emerged as a versatile solution for reconstruction, with a variety of donor sites utilized depending on the characteristics of the skull base/orbital defect. In this chapter, we describe advances in endoscopic-assisted and open approaches for free tissue transfer reconstruction of the orbit and skull base.
