Contribution of watertight dural closure to prevention of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage in endoscopic transnasal surgery for intradural lesions
WTDC in ETS is a reliable method for preventing postoperative CSF leakage, particularly in complex skull base surgeries with high-risk factors. This technique avoids the complications associated with nasoseptal flap use, preserves sinonasal quality, and reduces the need for lumbar drainage, making it a valuable option for skull base reconstruction.
