Skull Base Reconstruction after Far Lateral Transcondylar Approaches Using Autologous Fat Graft-Assisted Medpor Titan Cranioplasty: Surgical Technique and Nuances

Abstract

Object: One of the most common complications arising after far lateral transcondylar surgery for lesions in the ventral foramen magnum and the craniovertebral junction is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. A simple reconstruction technique to prevent postoperative CSF leakage is described using an autologous fat graft-assisted Medpor Titan cranioplasty.
