Outcomes of Autologous versus Synthetic Inlay Grafts After Skull Base Reconstruction for High‐Flow Defects: A Multicenter Case‐Control Analysis
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Although autologous inlay grafts have traditionally used for skull base reconstruction, growing experience suggests comparable efficacy when commercially available synthetic grafts are used for inlay reconstruction.• There is no head-to-head comparison between autologous versus synthetic inlay grafts and how they relate to skull base reconstruction outcomes.• This multicenter study shows that autologous and synthetic inlay grafts appear to afford comparable rates of reconstructive success, even for large high-flow defects.
