Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of a minimalistic sellar repair technique using an epidural interlay graft to prevent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks after endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery.
- - Out of 334 cases reviewed, intraoperative CSF leaks occurred in 34.7%, but only one postoperative leak was noted (0.3%), highlighting the technique's success and leading to a reduction in more complex repair strategies over time.
- - The study reports a 65% remission rate for functional macroadenomas, with the interlay graft being a reliable and effective solution, resulting in no postoperative CSF leaks in over 300 surgeries at the institution.
