Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To review our experience with skull base reconstruction and rehabilitation. METHOD: The clinical data of 30 patients with skull base reconstruction from 200 patients performed skull base surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Bone defect of skull base were repaired in 20 patients and dura defect in 6 patients and soft tissue defect in infratemporal fossa in 8 patients. RESULT: Postoperatively there were transient cerebrospinal leakage in 3 patients, and non-symptom intracranial pneumatosis in 3 patients, and epidural hematoma in 1 patient, and meningitis in 1 patients. CONCLUSION: Immediate reconstruction of skull base with suitable material and surgical technique can prevente complications such as postoperative infection and cerebrospinal leakage brain hernation.
