ABSTRACT
Objective The purpose of this study was to describe the endoscopic combined “transseptal/transnasal” approach with a pedicled nasoseptal flap for pituitary adenoma and skull base reconstruction, especially with respect to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula.Method Ninety-one consecutive patients with pituitary adenomas were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent the endoscopic combined “transseptal/transnasal” approach by the single team including the otorhinolaryngologists and neurosurgeons. Postoperative complications related to the flap were analyzed.Results Intra- and postoperative CSF fistulae were observed in 36 (40%) and 4 (4.4%) patients, respectively. Among the 4 patients, lumbar drainage and bed rest healed the CSF fistula in 3 patients and reoperation for revision was necessary in one patient. Other flap-related complications included nasal bleeding in 3 patients (3.3%).Conclusion The endoscopic combined “transseptal/transnasal” approach is most suitable for a two-surgeon technique and a pedicled nasoseptal flap is a reliable technique for preventing postoperative CSF fistula in pituitary surgery.
RESUMO
Objetivo O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever o acesso endoscópico transeptal/transnasal combinado com a criação do flap naso-septal pediculado para reconstrução da base do crânio em cirurgias de resseção de adenoma de hipófise, especialmente nos casos que ocorrem fístula líquido cefalorraquidiano (FLC).Método Noventa e um pacientes consecutivos portadores de adenoma de hipófise foram retrospectivamente revisados. Complicações pós-operatórias relacionadas ao flap foram analisadas.Resultados Fístulas líquido cefalorraquidiano intra e pós-operatórias foram observadas em 36 (40%) e 4 (4,4%) dos pacientes, respectivamente. Entre os 4 pacientes, drenagem lombar e repouso absoluto foram suficientes para o fechamento da fístula e intervenção cirúrgica foi necessária em apenas um paciente. Outra complicação relacionada ao flap foi o sangramento em 3 (3,3%) dos pacientes.Conclusão O acesso endoscópico transeptal/transnasal combinado é melhor aplicado quando realizado por dois cirurgiões e o flap naso-septal é uma técnica eficaz para prevenção de fístula pós-operatória em cirurgias de hipófise.
