Endoscopic endonasal surgery requires specific training and essential anatomical and technical knowledge. The support of 3D technologies favors the development of this knowledge. We exemplify the use of this 3D reconstruction tool through four clinical cases of sellar tumors. Imaging analysis was performed on four patients diagnosed with sellar tumors who underwent resection surgeries using endoscopic endonasal approaches with the support of 3D reconstructions. Four sellar tumors and their related anatomical structures were reconstructed using manual planimetric segmentation to modify the pre- and trans-surgical decision. Although 3D reconstruction images are not new, the imaging studies with which we can make these reconstructions have been improving and with which to improve anatomical and surgical understanding in endoscopic transnasal surgery. This work exemplifies the usefulness of 3D technology in planning endoscopic endonasal surgeries for the different tumor pathologies of the sellar region.

Objectives: Hospital-acquired catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs) have been regarded as preventable adverse events, yet their risk in endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) has not been well described despite common use. We determine the incidence of UTI following ESBS and identify contributing clinical factors.
Methods: Retrospective review was conducted for a cohort of 229 consecutive adult patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal surgery for treatment of any skull base pathology between July 2018 and June 2022 at a tertiary academic skull base surgery program.

Endoscopic resection with transnasal craniectomy (ERTC) and skull-base reconstruction (SBR) are effective techniques for sinonasal/skull-base malignancies treatment. Endoscopic endonasal SBR techniques are mainly based on homologue-free grafts with excellent outcomes, but alternative techniques can be used such as regional vascularized pedicled flaps or local pedicled flap-like Hadad-Bassagasteguy nasoseptal flap and the septal flip flap (SFF). The purpose of this article is to describe an inferiorly based septal flap aimed to promote mucosal healing and improve patients' quality of life.

Introduction/objectives: In recent decades, endoscopic endonasal surgery for skull base tumours has modified the way in which this region is approached. One of the most feared complications is the cerebrospinal fluid leak. It has been shown in different publications about CSF physiology that changes in the position modify the pressure of the CSF (pCSF).
