A Cadaveric Study Evaluating the Feasibility of the Amplatzer Septal Occluder for Skull Base Reconstruction in Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery: Can Occluders Offer a Viable Alternative for Skull Base Repair?
The ASO demonstrates significant promise as a supplementary tool for skull base reconstruction in endonasal endoscopic surgery. Its incorporation into a multilayer closure strategy could improve defect stability and reduce postoperative complications. Future studies are necessary to explore device customization, bioresorbable materials, and injectable bioactive substances to evaluate outcomes before clinical implementation in humans.
