CSF rhinorrhoea after endonasal intervention to the skull base (CRANIAL): A multicentre prospective observational study

Danyal Z. Khan et al.

Summary: This study investigated the skull-base repair methods used and the rates of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea in endonasal skull-base neurosurgery. The study found significant variation in repair protocols across centers. The rates of CSF rhinorrhoea were 3.9% in the endonasal transsphenoidal approach (TSA) and 7.1% in the expanded endonasal approach (EEA). It was observed that many postoperative leaks occurred without intraoperative CSF leak being reported.

Sinonasal outcomes associated with the use of BioGlue® in endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery

Cathal John Hannan et al.

Summary: The use of BioGlue (R) in endoscopic pituitary surgery does not seem to have a significant impact on sinonasal outcomes and post-operative infection rates. Previous concerns regarding its use in transcranial procedures may not apply to its application in endoscopic transnasal surgery.

The effects of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion on post-operative CSF leak following extended endoscopic anterior skull base surgery

Cecilia W. Huo et al.

Summary: Routine placement of lumbar drain (LD) does not reduce the risk of post-operative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak after extended endoscopic trans-sphenoidal resection of anterior skull base lesions. However, it is associated with increased complications, longer hospital stay, and adverse effects on patients' subjective outcome measures.

Iyan Younus et al.

Summary: Contrary to popular belief, the surgical learning curve for endoscopic endonasal approaches to the skull base does not plateau but can continue for several years depending on the complexity of the endpoints considered.

Modern endoscopic skull base neurosurgery

Rafael Martinez-Perez et al.

Summary: The use of endoscopic surgery has revolutionized the treatment of skull base lesions, providing surgeons with additional tools to tackle challenging cases. The combination of traditional transcranial and endoscopic approaches can improve the success rate of tumor resection.

Trends in cerebrospinal fluid leak rates following the extended endoscopic endonasal approach for anterior skull base meningioma: a meta-analysis over the last 20 years

Amir H. Zamanipoor Najafabadi et al.

Summary: The study evaluated surgical outcomes of the extended endoscopic endonasal approach for tuberculum sellae and olfactory groove meningioma patients over the past two decades. The findings showed a decrease in the occurrence of CSF leak over time, while other surgical outcomes remained stable.
