Cosmetic and functional reconstruction of large and complex calvarial defects remains a challenge for craniofacial surgeons. Computer-designed alloplastic implants have revolutionized the conceptualization and approach to these reconstructions and have become a reliable and irreplaceable part of the surgical armamentarium. We are reporting a case of complex orbito-fronto-temporal reconstruction using a computer-designed PEEK (polyetheretherketones)-Patient Specific Implant (PSI). To the best of our knowledge, no other similar cases regarding the use of these implants in cranial reconstruction have been reported previously.

Combined gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography, MR urography, and MR nephrography can accurately depict the arterial supply, collecting system, and renal parenchyma of donor kidneys.

No significant decline in global QOL occurred after GKS with relatively short follow-up and approximately 50% survey completion. When discussing therapy options with VS patients, anticipated treatment-related QOL outcomes should be considered.
