Use of an Inverted and Segmented Galea-Calvarial Flap for the Simultaneous Reconstruction of the Frontal Sinus and Forehead: A New Supplementary Method of Reconstructive Cranial Surgery

抄録

We report on a new technical method of using an inverted and segmented galea-calvarial flap for simultaneous reconstruction of the frontal sinus and forehead. A 73-year-old man presented with the production of pus at the forehead, in which the frontal sinus had been involved 6 years postoperatively. The patient underwent surgery with our new simultaneous technique. During the 7 years of follow-up after this reconstructive surgery, no recurrence of surgical wound problems was noted.
