Tailored Postoperative Reconstruction for Low-Grade Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks in Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors
Our graded reconstruction approach is an effective and efficient method to prevent CSF leaks after eTSA in PitNET patients with low-grade intraoperative CSF leaks. Further subdividing Grade 2 leaks based on defect size enables more precise and reliable skull base reconstruction. Moreover, autologous fat grafts, fascia lata, and perioperative LD appear unnecessary in low-grade cases.
