Functional sinonasal outcomes after rescue flap versus double nasoseptal flap in endoscopic trans-sphenoid pituitary surgery: a randomized clinical trial
Endoscopic pituitary surgery can adversely affect the sinonasal functions. Double nasoseptal flap technique allows posterior septectomy with bilateral septal mucosa preservation. Although it requires longer operative time than the rescue flap technique, better functional sinonasal outcomes and olfaction scores are achieved.
