Description
Christopher Wen and co-authors describe a multilayer repair for lateral skull base leaks and pouches in a 2026 technique note. Fluid leaks and brain pouches at the skull side need firm layered closure. A thin bone graft cut from the mastoid cortex adds rigid support to the repair. Harvest is simple to carry out and adds no extra harm, the team reports. The graft stiffens the closure where soft layers alone may fail.
