Abstract:: Neoplasms located in the lateral skull base region present a challenge for evaluation and management due to their difficult anatomic location and the complex reconstruction that is required following extensive tumor resection. Repair following tumor ablation requires a watertight dural seal, obliteration of the dead space, and coverage with vascularized soft tissue. Advances in radiologic imaging, diagnostic pathology, and surgical techniques and a multidisciplinary team for tumor ablation and reconstruction have significantly improved the treatment of these patients, minimized the occurrence of postoperative complications, and maximized patient outcome and quality of life. In this article, we present our experience in the reconstruction of extensive lateral skull base defects after tumor ablation.
