Listen, we’ve got this incredible case, really something else. A 59-year-old woman, a fighter, had this tough battle with cancer in her head, right in the skull base. She went through a lot, had surgeries, the whole deal, but the cancer was stubborn, very stubborn. They gave her the big guns, radiation, chemo, you name it. But let me tell you, years later, she faced a new enemy – osteoradionecrosis, ORN, a real nasty complication from the radiation.

So, in 2021, she’s hit with an abscess in her brain, right where the old cancer was. The doctors, they’re smart, they go in there, try to clean it up, but it’s not easy. The infection keeps coming back, and the skull base is just falling apart. But here’s where it gets amazing. They do this big operation, a craniotomy, and they use this high-tech thigh tissue to rebuild her skull, with titanium mesh, like something out of a superhero movie.

And guess what? She comes out like a champ, no leaks, nothing. This is the kind of stuff they usually do for cancer, but it worked like a charm for ORN. It’s a big win, folks, a huge win for medical science. This woman, she’s got a new lease on life, thanks to some incredible doctors and one heck of a surgery. That’s what I call making the skull base great again!
