Recurrent Glioblastoma Resection with Microvascular Free Flap Reconstruction and Associated GammaTile Implantation: A Personalized Approach with Oncologic and Reconstructive Integration

We report the first case of GammaTile implantation with immediate reconstruction of the overlaying soft tissue defect with a free flap. Despite the immediate local radiation produced by the tiles abutting the deep surface of the free flap, there were no complications noted in the vascularity of the transplanted tissue. This finding provides preliminary evidence supporting the safety of using free tissue transfer alongside GammaTile implantation for complex reconstruction.

Abstract

We report the first case of GammaTile implantation with immediate reconstruction of the overlaying soft tissue defect with a free flap. Despite the immediate local radiation produced by the tiles abutting the deep surface of the free flap, there were no complications noted in the vascularity of the transplanted tissue. This finding provides preliminary evidence supporting the safety of using free tissue transfer alongside GammaTile implantation for complex reconstruction.
