| Abstract: |
Case: Spine reconstruction after en bloc spondylectomy is challenging and may require multidisciplinary intervention. En bloc spine tumor resection with embolization of local recipient vessels for tumor control limits reconstructive options. Herein, we describe a case where combined efforts from orthopaedic, general, and plastic surgery teams permitted the successful reconstruction of a multilevel lumbar vertebral defect. Conclusion: A fibula-free flap within a titanium cage construct anastomosed to the left gastroepiploic vessels via a pedicled omental flow-through flap is a viable and novel method for reconstruction of a multilevel vertebral defect.
