Abstract
BACKGROUND Modern achievements in transnasal endoscopic skull base (SB) surgery have led to complex resections that render reconstruction a challenge. Temporoparietal fascia flap (TPFF) is a suitable option for SB reconstruction. The side-door TPFF technique for anterior SB reconstruction is described here for the first time in a real-life surgical setting. METHODS Patients affected by a SB malignancy who underwent cranioendoscopic resection were included. For reconstruction, a multilayer reconstruction technique including side-door TPFF transposition was employed. RESULTS TPFF transposition was performed in five patients. The TPFF could be easily transposed via a side-door approach. It adequately covered the edges of the defect and supported optimal healing of the surgical site. During follow-up, vitality and integration of the TPFF were assessed endoscopically and radiologically. CONCLUSIONS The TPFF side-door transposition technique is a valuable option in anterior SB reconstruction that can provide fast and effective healing, especially in patients needing adjuvant radiotherapy.

Pericranial Flap-Based Multilayer Reconstruction of Endoscopic Transcribriform Craniectomy for Sinonasal Malignancies. Laryngoscope 2023; 133:2942-2947.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diffusion of endoscopic techniques for the resection of ethmoid bone malignancies through a transcribriform approach (TA) has raised new challenges regarding reconstruction options to reduce post-operative complications. Although there is consensus on the advantages of vascularized flaps over free grafts for large defects, no standard protocol exists on reconstruction procedures. In addition, although the pedicled nasoseptal flap has been extensively discussed, few studies have been published on extranasal pedicled flaps. The aim of this manuscript is to provide a detailed description of a reconstruction technique for large anterior skull base defects with the pericranial flap as part of a multilayered reconstruction. Moreover, patients treated with this approach were retrospectively assessed for post-operative complications. METHODS A detailed description of the reconstruction procedure as performed in our departments is provided. Pictures depicting the main surgical steps are also included. In addition, preliminary functional results from a retrospective series of patients who underwent a TA and subsequent pericranial flap-based multilayer reconstruction for ethmoid roof malignancies between 2016 and 2022 at two institutional centers are reported. RESULTS 16 patients were included in the study. Nine patients (56.3%) underwent adjuvant radiotherapy. Two patients had a biochemically-confirmed postoperative CSF leak. Only one of the two patients required surgical revision. During follow-up (mean 13 months), no other early nor delayed complications were observed. CONCLUSION A standardized surgical technique with pericranial flap as part of a multilayered reconstruction for large anterior skull base defects following resection of sinonasal malignancies is proposed, which appears to be a safe choice when endonasal flaps are not available.

Abstract
In sinonasal cancer surgery, a fundamental challenge is to understand the postoperative imaging changes after reconstruction. Misinterpretation of post-operative imaging may lead to a misdiagnosis of tumor recurrence. Because radiotherapy planning is based on imaging, there are many gaps in knowledge to be filled in the interpretation of postoperative imaging to properly define radiotherapy tumor volumes in the presence of flaps. On the other hand, radiotherapy may be responsible for tissue fibrosis or atrophy, the anatomy of the reconstructed region and the functional outcomes may change after radiotherapy compared to surgery alone. This narrative review illustrates the interdisciplinary aims and challenges of sinonasal reconstructive surgery using flaps or grafts. It is particularly relevant to radiologists and radiation oncologists, at a time when intensity modulated radiotherapy and proton therapy have the potential to further contribute to reduction of morbidity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to describe and evaluate the feasibility, mobility, and surface area provided by the simple and extended transorbital pericranial flap (TOPF). Furthermore, we compared this novel technique with the current practice of pericranial flap harvesting and insetting techniques. We also studied the adequacy of the TOPF in the reconstruction of postoperative anterior cranial fossa (ACF) defects. METHODS The TOPF was performed bilaterally in 5 alcohol-preserved, latex-injected human cadaveric specimens. The TOPF was harvested in 2 stages: the orbitonasal stage and the cranial stage. For the orbitonasal stage, a transorbital superior eyelid approach was used. We have described 2 harvesting techniques for creating 2 distinct TOPF types (simple and extended) according to the main vascular pedicle. The superficial flap areas offered by the simple and extended TOPF and the traditional bicoronal pericranial flap were calculated and compared. The distances from the supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries to specified anatomical landmarks were also measured. Additionally, the ACF defect area of relevant surgical cases performed using endoscopic transcribriform approaches were measured on immediate postoperative computed tomography head scans using radiological imaging software. RESULTS The harvest of both the simple and the extended TOPFs was efficient. As expected, the areas offered by simple and extended TOPFs were smaller than that offered by the traditional bicoronal flap. However, the surface area offered by either the simple or extended TOPF provides sufficient coverage for most ACF defects. A high spatial distribution was observed between the vascular pedicles and their respective foramen or notch. CONCLUSIONS The TOPF represents a novel harvesting, tunneling, and insetting technique that offers a large, versatile, pedicled flap for coverage of most standard ACF defects after endoscopic surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this study was to review and describe the main innovative surgical techniques for nasal septal perforation (NSP) repair that have been published in recent years. RECENT FINDINGS Several techniques for NSP repair have been developed recently. The anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) flap is a versatile technique for middle-size perforations in different locations. The greater palatine artery (GPA) flap is an excellent option for anterior-most NSPs. The lateral nasal wall flap and the pericranial flap are the most appropriate techniques for large perforations. The advent of these techniques has changed the management and has expanded the therapeutic arsenal to treat all types of NSPs according to the size, location, and osteo-cartilaginous support. However, no technique has been accepted as the gold standard. Extensive knowledge of different techniques is important to individualize the treatment, selecting the most appropriate in each case.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sinonasal adenocarcinomas (SNAC) are rare and heterogeneous. Management of SNAC follows a rather standardized and internationally accepted paradigm. Several refinements have been introduced during the last decade. METHODS A narrative review of most updated literature on SNACs has been conducted. RESULTS SNACs are classified as intestinal-type and non-intestinal-type, which are further categorized according to grade. Preoperative work-up should include magnetic resonance imaging (or contrast-enhanced computed tomography as a secondary or complementary choice) and biopsy under general anesthesia, or under local anesthesia in case of a history of exposure to wood and/or leather dust. Positron emission tomography, neck ultrasound, and fine-needle aspiration cytology are indicated in selected cases. Surgery represents the most common upfront modality of treatment and is usually accomplished via a transnasal endoscopic approach. Adjuvant radiation therapy is indicated for high-grade, locally advanced tumors and/or in case of margins involvement. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin may offer high response rates and long-term control in a subgroup of patients affected by intestinal-type adenocarcinoma, and in particular in those whose tumors harbor a functional p53 protein. Most of the bio- and immune-therapeutic potentials on SNACs still remain theoretical, and no clinical data are currently available. CONCLUSIONS Management of SNAC consists of histological diagnosis, radiological staging, radical surgery, and adjuvant radiation therapy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be indicated in selected cases. The role of biotherapy and immune therapy still needs to be elucidated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The armamentarium for anterior skull base (ASB) reconstruction includes a variegate spectrum of grafts, endonasal pedicled flaps, regional pedicled flaps, and free flaps, which are selected to face specific scenarios. The use of a vascularized flap in case of large ABS defects ensures an adequate blood supply. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible role of temporoparietal fascia flap (TPFF) in ASB reconstruction. METHODS Eight fresh-frozen head specimens were dissected to evaluate the adequacy of TPFF and pericranial flap (PF) for the reconstruction of ASB defects. The percentage of coverage of the ASB was calculated for TPFF and PF. An anatomic-radiologic analysis was performed to provide useful practical information for flap harvesting and positioning. RESULTS The TPFF was easily transposed to the ABS defect through an epidural corridor; the edges of the TPFF were successfully placed in the intradural space, in the epidural space, or on the extracranial surface of the ABS defect. The PF was particularly adequate for median defects, and the TPFF was shown to be useful also in cases with paramedian-supraorbital extension. The median percentage of coverage of the ASB was significantly higher for TPFF (85.1%) than PF (65.7%) (P = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS The supraorbital epidural corridor is a possible novel pathway for transposition of the TPFF for ASB reconstruction. Side-door TPFF was shown to be an ideal choice for large ASB defect with lateral supraorbital extension and could be useful in the scenario of salvage reconstruction for recurrent ABS cerebrospinal fluid leak.
