DOI: 10.1002/lio2.70192
Abstract: Extended endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approaches (ExEETSA) commonly result in high‐flow cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks that demand robust reconstruction strategies. Although nasoseptal flap (NSF) is a standard reconstructive technique, high‐flow grade 3 CSF leaks require additional… read more here.
