“…En los equipos multidisciplinarios dedicados al tratamiento de la patología de la base craneal han cambiado los parámetros de que hasta ahora se consideraba como "no resecable", creando cada vez defectos mayores en la base craneal 10 . Sin embargo, dicha revolución no hubiese sido posible sin nuevas técnicas de reconstrucción.…”

“…As such, we then turn to tunneled scalp flaps, including the PCF and the temporoparietal fascia flap (TPFF). The PCF's strong vascularity relies on its pedicle on the deep branches of the supraorbital and the supratrochlear arteries, and it can extend from the superior orbital rim down to the occiput [29,30]. Techniques of the endoscopically-harvested PCF have been described elsewhere and are beyond the scope of this review article [31,32].…”

Reconstruction of the skull base continues to advance at an exponentially rapid rate. New methods of vascular tissue mobilization, improvement in technology, and advancement in minimally invasive tissue harvesting allow for multiple endoscopic reconstruction options of the anterior skull base. Size and location of defect, along with experience of surgical technique, all play a part in the algorithm for choice of reconstructive method. Reduction of nasal morbidity has increased, while rates of complications continue to decline with increasing surgical experience and technique. Continued efforts to expand the armamentarium of the skull base surgeon will advance the field towards better clinical outcomes and reduced complications. Here, we review the most current avascular and vascular reconstructive options available, highlight recent advances in decreasing patient morbidity, and discuss complications occurring during reconstruction.

“…[10][11][12][13] Their prevalence is due to the simplicity, reliability and predictable vascular supply. The risk of vascular compromise is further decreased in the flap by raising the galea and pericranium together when close to the supraorbital rim.…”

Sino-orbital cutaneous fistulas are a well-documented complication of orbital exenteration and sinonasal carcinoma resection. However, these defects remain a difficult to close due to persistent mucopurulent drainage and previous irradiation. We describe a novel approach for closure of sino-orbital cutaneous fistulas in 2 patients using a galeopericranial flap. The galeopericranial flap is ideal due to its thin, pliable nature and predictable, abundant vascularity. The flap has been used successfully in a variety of skull base and ophthalmologic surgeries. Additionally, the galeopericranial flap obviates the need for a more cosmetically disfiguring closure. Both patients' defects have remained closed at follow-up with excellent cosmetic results.
