摘要

Treatment of tumors affecting the anterior cranio-facial region requires a careful planning of both the tumor approach and the reconstructive procedure in order to achieve a safe oncologic resection and an adequate aesthetic and functional result. Aim of this lecture is to review the different approaches to the anterior cranio-facial region and to discuss the reconstructive challenges after oncologic resection in this area. Main objectives of the reparative procedures should be to achieve a watertight sealing of the cranial cavity as well as to restore the cranio-facial contour. Reconstruction of anterior cranial basis defects could be performed by using either local-regional pedicled flaps or microvascularized free flaps.
