Abstract
BACKGROUND The regimen of prophylactic antibiotic for endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery (EE-SBS) varies considerably depending on surgeons and their institutes. The purpose of the present meta-analysis is to assess the effect of antibiotic regimens on EE-SBS surgery for anterior skull base tumor. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane clinical trial databases were systematically searched through October 15, 2022. RESULTS The 20 included studies were all retrospective. The studies included a total of 10,735 patients who underwent EE-SBS for skull base tumor. The proportion of patients with postoperative intracranial infection across all 20 studies was 0.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.5%-1.3%). The proportion of postoperative intracranial infection in the multiple antibiotics group did not show statistically significant difference to that of the single antibiotic agent group (proportion: 0.6%, 95% CI 0%-1.4% vs. proportion: 1%, 95% CI 0.6%-1.5%, respectively, P = 0.39). The ultra-short duration maintenance group showed lower incidence of postoperative intracranial infection, although it did not reach statistical significance (ultra-short group: 0.7%, 95% CI 0.5%-0.9%; short duration: 1.8%, 95% CI 0.5%-3%; and long duration: 1%, 95% CI 0.2%-1.9%, P = 0.22) The combination of the multiple antibiotics group did not show meaningful low incidence of postoperative intracranial infection (antibiotics combination group: 0.6%, 95% CI 0%-1.4%; cefazolin single group: 0.8%, 95% CI 0%-1.6%; and single antibiotics other than cefazolin: 1.2%, 95% CI 0.7%-1.7%, P = 0.22). CONCLUSIONS Multiple antibiotics did not show superiority compared with single antibiotic agent. Also, long maintenance duration of antibiotics did not reduce the incidence of postoperative intracranial infection.

Continuous Dural Suturing for the Closure of Grade 1 to 2 Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage After Pituitary Adenoma Removal Using an Endoscopic Endonasal Approach. J Craniofac Surg 2023; 34:629-632. [PMID: 36104835 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000008962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, we aim at evaluating continuous dural suturing in patients with grade 1 to 2 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage after pituitary adenoma removal using an endoscopic endonasal approach. The study population comprised 381 pituitary adenoma patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal removal of the tumor. The degree of intraoperative CSF leakage was graded based on Esposito method. Cranial base repair using continuous dural suturing was performed according to the grade of CSF leakage. Intraoperative grade 1 to 2 CSF leakage was identified in 143 patients (37.5%). Continuous dural suturing to repair the cranial base was accepted by 61 patients and refused by 82 patients. Among patients who accepted dural suturing, the incidence of postoperative CSF leakage was reduced and the length of hospital stay was shortened. Patients with low-flow leakage were treated using a reduced vascularized pedicled nasoseptal flap. In conclusion, our graded cranial base repair method using the dural suturing technique is simple and effective.

Abstract
To report the results of a consecutive series of pituitary adenomas resected through endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) with minimal nasal injury.Retrospectively review tumor characteristics and surgical outcomes of a consecutive series of EEA pituitary adenomas resection performed mainly by a single author between March 2018 and June 2019.A total of 75 endoscopic endonasal approach pituitary adenoma resections were performed by the authors' team. Of the 75 patients, 28 through mononostril EEA, 47 through Binonostril EEA. Hadad-Bassagasteguy vascularized nasoseptal flap was harvested in only 4 (5.3%) patients with a high risk of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak, and one side middle turbinate only been resected in 2 (2.7%) patients, other patients preserved bilateral middle turbinate. Of the 75 patients, gross total resection is 74.7%, near-total resection is 16.0%. Endocrinological remission was achieved in 76.9% of GH-secreting adenomas, 61.5% of prolactin-secreting adenomas. The postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak rate was 2.7%. Two patients had suprasellar hemorrhage, 1 patient had perioperative stroke, 2 patients had permanent diabetes insipidus, no cranial nerve deficits, internal carotid artery injury, anosmia, and death. The sino-nasal function was measured with the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 and visual analog scale for olfaction preoperatively and postoperatively, and there was no statistically significant difference.The EEA is an effective approach to resect pituitary adenomas, the gross total resection and near-total resection rate and endocrinological remission rate are satisfactory. The EEA is a safe approach, as the complication rate is acceptable compared with those reported in the previous series of microscopic and endoscopic approaches. These results can be achieved with minimal nasal injury.

Abstract
Objective Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks are the most common complication during endonasal endoscopic transsphenoidal approach (EETSA) and prevention of postoperative CSF leaks is critical. In this study, we report a single surgeon's experience of sellar floor reconstruction using abdominal fat grafts for prevention of postoperative CSF leaks in EETSA for pituitary adenomas. Study Design This study is presented as case series with retrospective chart review. Setting Present study was conducted at tertiary referral center. Participants A total of 216 patients who underwent surgery via EETSA for pituitary adenomas between 2008 and 2018 at our institution were evaluated. When an intraoperative CSF leak occurred, sellar floor reconstruction was performed using a fat graft harvested from the abdomen via a 2-cm skin incision. Main Outcome Measures Primary outcome and measures of this study was postoperative CSF leaks. Results A total of 53 patients showed intraoperative CSF leaks (24.5%) and 2 patients showed postoperative CSF leaks (0.93%). There were no postoperative CSF leaks in any patients who showed intraoperative CSF leaks and received sellar floor reconstruction using fat grafts. There were also no postoperative CSF leaks in 12 patients who received preventative sellar floor reconstruction using fat grafts due to extensive arachnoid herniation without intraoperative CSF leaks. However, there were two postoperative CSF leaks in patients who did not show intraoperative CSF leaks and did not receive sellar floor reconstruction. Conclusion The effectiveness of sellar floor reconstruction using abdominal fat grafts in patients receiving EETSA for pituitary adenoma was reported. We suggest that identification of intraoperative CSF leaks is important and preventive sellar floor reconstruction without evidence of intraoperative CSF leaks can also be beneficial.

Abstract
Objective Presently, there are no standards for reporting outcomes of endoscopic endonasal skull base reconstruction (ESBR). This is problematic as a lack of consistent reporting makes synthesizing findings in systematic reviews and meta-analysis challenging. Thus, the aim of this study was to systematically review and describe the patterns of reporting outcomes in ESBR as a foundation for developing reporting guidelines. Study Design Present study is a systematic review. Methods Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched for all publications with ≥25 patients and a focus on ESBR. The reporting patterns of each study's variables and outcomes were assessed. Results A total of 112 studies were included in the review. The most commonly reported demographic variables were the number of included patients ( n = 112, 100%) and types of pathologies treated ( n = 104, 92.9%). Meanwhile, the most routinely described preoperative variable was history of prior treatment ( n = 48, 42.9%). Type of reconstruction was a commonly reported intraoperative variable ( n = 110, 98.2%), though the rate of intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak was noted in only 76 studies (67.9%). With regard to postoperative outcomes, postoperative CSF leak rate was routinely provided ( n = 101, 90.2%), but reporting of other surgical complications was more inconsistent. Ultimately, of the 43 variables and outcomes reviewed, a median of 12 (range: 4-22) was reported in each study. Conclusion There is significant heterogeneity in the outcomes reported in studies relating to ESBR. This highlights the need for the development of standard reporting guidelines to minimize bias and improve interstudy comparability.

Abstract
Abstract
Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is widely recognized as a challenging and commonly occurring postoperative complication of transsphenoidal surgery (TSS).The primary objective of this study is to benchmark the current prevalence of CSF leak after TSS in the adult population.
Methods The authors followed the PRISMA guidelines. The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for articles reporting CSF leak after TSS in the adult population. Meta-analysis was performed using the Untransformed Proportion metric in OpenMetaAnalyst. For two between-group comparisons a generalized linear mixed model was applied.
Results We identified 2,408 articles through the database search, of which 70, published since 2015, were included in this systematic review. These studies yielded 24,979 patients who underwent a total of 25,034 transsphenoidal surgeries. The overall prevalence of postoperative CSF leak was 3.4% (95% confidence interval or CI 2.8–4.0%). The prevalence of CSF leak found in patients undergoing pituitary adenoma resection was 3.2% (95% CI 2.5–4.2%), whereas patients who underwent TSS for another indication had a CSF leak prevalence rate of 7.1% (95% CI 3.0–15.7%) (odds ratio [OR] 2.3, 95% CI 0.9–5.7). Patients with cavernous sinus invasion (OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.1–8.7) and intraoperative CSF leak (OR 5.9, 95% CI 3.8–9.0) have increased risk of postoperative CSF leak. Previous TSS and microscopic surgery are not significantly associated with postoperative CSF leak.
Conclusion The overall recent prevalence of CSF leak after TSS in adults is 3.4%. Intraoperative CSF leak and cavernous sinus invasion appear to be significant risk factors for postoperative CSF leak.

A Single Layer Synthetic Dural Substitute Inlay is an Effective Sellar Reconstruction Technique in Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery. Skull Base Surg 2020; 83:291-295. [DOI: 10.1055/s-0040-1721822] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2020] [Accepted: 09/25/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Abstract
Objectives A variety of endonasal sellar repair techniques have been described; many are complex, multilayered, and carry potential morbidity. We propose an effective, technically simple single-layer repair for select sellar defects, including those with an intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. Our technique utilizes only a synthetic dural substitute inlay and dural sealant glue without packing or lumbar drainage.
Design This is a retrospective review-based study.
Setting This study was conducted at tertiary care center.
Participants Patients who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma and sellar reconstruction with the aforementioned inlay technique. Patients were selected for this technique if they had an identified intraoperative CSF leak, a patulous diaphragm (expanded and thinned diaphragma sella), or a comorbidity excluding them from a simpler onlay only reconstruction.
Outcome Measures Postoperative CSF leak and sinonasal morbidity included in the study
Results A total of 409 subjects were identified; 368 were initial resections. Gross total resection of the pituitary adenoma was achieved in 356 (87.0%) cases. Average tumor size was 2.6 ± 1.1 cm. Average tumor volume was 10.8 ± 12.1 cm3. There were 135 intraoperative CSF leaks and 196 patulous diaphragms. There were five postoperative CSF leaks (1.2%), all of which occurred in the first half of our series. Pre- and postoperative sino-nasal outcomes test-22 scores were 19.2 ± 18.2 and 18.8 ± 21.3 (p = 0.492), respectively.
Conclusion A synthetic dural substitute inlay and dural sealant glue is an excellent single-layer repair for sellar defects, even those with an intraoperative CSF leak. This technique is highly effective in preventing postoperative CSF leaks and does not utilize packing or lumbar drainage. It also avoids the potential cost and morbidity associated with more complex and multilayered closures.
