The ability to reliably reconstruct complex and sizable wounds has decreased the morbidity of skull base surgery substantially, preventing major complications and allowing treatment of tumors previously considered inoperable. Addressing facial nerve function with static and dynamic procedures as well as fabrication of craniofacial prostheses to replace delicate facial landmarks has further increased surgeons' ability to restore the appearance and function of the face.
可靠地重建复杂且大面积的创伤,大大降低了颅底手术的发病率,防止了重大并发症的发生,并使以前被认为不可手术的肿瘤得以治疗。通过静态和动态手术处理面神经功能,并制作颅面赝复体来替代精细的面部标志,进一步提高了外科医生恢复面部外观和功能的能力。
