What is Reconstruction of Large Anterior Skull Base Defects After Resection of Sinonasal Tumors With Intracranial Extension by Using Pedicled Double Flap Techniques about?

## Introduction: The use of surgical resection for large anterior skull base (ASB) tumors and sinonasal malignancies with intracranial extension will result in a large skull base defect. Reconstruction of large ASB defects using traditional techniques is high risk and may lead to postoperative cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leakage, meningitis, and an increase in mortality rate. The use of a pedicled double flap technique to reconstruct the ASB defect may decrease complications. This study presents the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent double flap reconstruction techniques after resection of their sinonasal malignancies with significant intracranial extension at Cho Ray hospital in Vietnam. ## Methods: The case series study was conducted at Cho Ray hospital from September 2010 to September 2020. All patients with large sinonasal malignancies that invaded intracranially underwent transnasal endoscopic surgery and subfrontal craniotomy. Reconstruction of large skull base defects (>2 cm) were followed up by using the pedicled double flaps technique. This study was performed in line with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Approval of the study was granted by the Inde
