ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To treat extradural solid-cystic lesions of the ventral skull base, a pedicled nasoseptal flap (NSF) maintains patency of the marsupialized cavity and prevents restenosis and cyst recurrence.METHODS:
The authors provide a step-by-step description of the surgical technique valid in different lesions of the skull base, all treated via the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA). The application is demonstrated by an operative video.CONCLUSION:
In selected lesions, endoscopic marsupialization using an NSF ensures drainage and ventilation of the surgical cavity. Re-epithelialization provided by a pedicled flap is a viable alternative to multilayer skull base reconstruction.Palabras clave
