World’s First Neuroendoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Repair Technique - the “In Situ Bone Flap Technique”
To address the global challenge of post-neuroendoscopic skull base reconstruction, Professor YANG Gang from the Department of Neurosurgery developed an innovative approach called the "In Situ Bone Flap Technique." This method involves using a high-speed diamond drill to create bone flaps in vascular- and nerve-dense regions of the skull base, enabling immediate in situ bony reconstruction. The procedure achieves true anatomic repositioning and functional restoration, and has been incorporated into the Expert Consensus on Skull Base Reconstruction Techniques in Endonasal Neuroendoscopic Surgery for nationwide implementation. In August 2023, this technique received dual honors: it won first place in the finals and was named a "Top Ten Nationwide Innovation" at the inaugural Chinese Neurosurgical Physician Diagnostic and Treatment Capability Competition, an event organized by the National Health Commission to showcase advanced surgical methods.
