## Abstract ## Background: The expansion of endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery has resulted in an increased demand for reconstructive options. Reconstruction with vascularized tissue has proven indispensable for reliably separating the cranial contents from the paranasal sinuses following ext
Reconstruction of skull base defects has been a major challenge in development of endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEA) to the skull base. The goals of reconstruction of endoscopic defects are the same as for open skull base surgery: separation of the cranial cavity from the paranasal sinuses, elimi
## Abstract ## Objectives: Expansion of the clinical indications for ablative endoscopic endonasal approaches has behooved us to search for new reconstruction alternatives. We present the anatomic foundations of a novel anterior pedicled lateral wall flap (HadadβBassagaisteguy 2 or HB2 flap) for t
