Reconstruction of presigmoid dural defects after resection of acoustic neuromas via the translabyrinthine approach is paramount to prevent postoperative CSF leakage. However, primary dural reapproximation and achieving a watertight closure of the dural defect in this anatomical region are quite difficult. Standard closure techniques after the translabyrinthine approach often involve packing an abdominal fat graft that plugs the dural defect and mastoidectomy cavity. This technique, however, may pose the risk of direct compression of the fat graft on the facial nerve and brainstem. Nonetheless, even with the evolution in dural repair techniques, postoperative CSF leaks can still occur and provide a route for infection and meningitis. In this report, the authors describe a novel dural "sling" reconstruction technique using autologous fascia lata to repair presigmoid dural defects created after translabyrinthine resection of acoustic neuromas. The fascia lata is sewn to the edges of the presigmoid dural defect to create a sling to suspend the fat graft within the mastoidectomy defect. A titanium mesh plate embedded in porous polyethylene is secured over the mastoidectomy defect to apply pressure to the fat graft. In the authors' experience, this has been a successful technique for dural reconstruction after translabyrinthine removal of acoustic neuromas to prevent postoperative CSF leakage. There were no cases of CSF leakage in the first 8 patients treated using this technique. The operative details and preliminary results of this technique are presented.
