Nasoseptal Double Flap Versus Rescue Flap in Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Aug 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This paper investigates the outcomes of two surgical techniques-nasoseptal double flap and nasoseptal rescue flap-used in endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary tumors. The nasoseptal flap technique has significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) leaks but can cause nasal morbidity.
