- A statistical analysis of 14 cases of skull base reconstruction.
抄録
Fourteen patients underwent reconstruction of skull base defects between 1989 and 1993. In this series, two patients required reoperations because of postoperative extradural abscess. Statistical analysis of the results of our series shows that the use of a bone graft is significantly associated with postoperative wound infection (p=0.033: Fisher Exact test). Although both patients with postoperative wound infections had preoperative radiation therapy, this is not significantly associated with infectious risk (p=0.308). The size of a bony defect, selection of a flap, and materials for a dural graft are not also significantly associated with postoperatve extradural abscess in this series. Eventually, all but one patients were well reconstructed without bone grafts. We feel that the use of bone grafts in reconstruction of skull base defects could lead to dead space and an increased chance for infectious complications. Although the number of patients in this series is not large, this study demonstrates that the use of bone grafts in reconstruction of skull base defects could be one of the factors in increasing the chances of infectious complications. We think that a bone graft is not necessary to reconstruct a moderate-sized skull base defect.
