Abstract :
Introduction: In reconstruction of post-traumatic craniofacial defects Palacos R-40 is
mostly used by neurosurgeons and by maxillofacial surgeons after tumor removal with
consequently noticeable irregularities on the shape of the cranial region and face. We
harvested customized adipodermal (AD) graft in low inguinal region and use it as an inlay
autologous graft for surface irregularities correction with a 100% survival and without noticeable
reduction of the graft volume. Material and Methods: Between 2009 and 2015, an
adipodermal gaft was used in 5 cases of craniofacial post-traumatic defects, 3 of which
were due to Palacos R-40 cranial reconstruction and 2 connected to maxillofacial tumor
removal and post-traumatic reconstruction. Results: There were no complications and a
satisfactory aesthetic result was achieved in all cases. Conclusion: The inguinal inlay autologous
AD graft is, due to our best knowledge, an original single-stage procedure for those
typical cranial grove-like defects correction. It gives a wide option of different shapes with
relatively easy to proceed and predictable result.
