3D printing and intraoperative neuronavigation tailoring for skull base reconstruction after extended endoscopic endonasal surgery: proof of concept.


ABSTRACT: In BriefA custom implantable device was designed to help reconstruct the skull base after extended endoscopic endonasal approaches. These implants are based on the specific anatomy of the patient, with tailored modifications to facilitate deployment and increase stability and efficacy. Their use will help decrease the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage after endoscopic surgery, reducing returns to the operating room and length of hospital stay as well as improving overall safety for patients.

<h4>Objective</h4>Endoscopic endonasal approaches are increasingly performed for the surgical treatment of multiple skull base pathologies. Preventing postoperative CSF leaks remains a major challenge, particularly in extended approaches. In this study, the authors assessed the potential use of modern multimaterial 3D printing and neuronavigation to help model these extended defects and develop specifically tailored prostheses for reconstructive purposes.<h4>Methods</h4>Extended endoscopic endon  ...[more]
