ABSTRACT

The reconstruction of large tissue defects after the resection of brain tumors is challenging for every neurosurgeon. The authors describe the benefits of a skin flap with vascular pedicle in the reconstruction of large tissue defects after the resection of brain tumors. In this retrospective analysis, a skin flap with vascular pedicle reconstruction was used in 5 patients who underwent intracranial tumor resection, accompanied by tissue defects, cerebrospinal fluid leakage and scalp infection. The surgical techniques are described, and the outcomes were discussed. The harvested flaps showed well-vascularized healing of the transplanted skin without partial necrosis in all 5 patients. One patient had cerebrospinal rhinorrhea, which was successfully treated by endoscopic repair. Another patient had cerebrospinal fluid leakage, which was successfully treated by continuous lumbar drainage. A skin flap with vascular pedicle is an effective choice for the reconstruction of large tissue defects after the resection of brain tumors.
