Application of a Gasket-Seal Technique Using Autogenous Bone Flap and Artificial Dura for Sellar Floor Reconstruction in Endoscopic Transnasal Pituitary Surgery

Key Points

• The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a gasket-seal technique for reconstructing the sellar floor during pituitary surgery.
• Utilized an autogenous bone flap and artificial dura for reconstruction.
• Conducted the procedure using endoscopic transnasal surgery techniques.
• Analyzed operation time and outcomes related to nasal trauma and olfactory function.
• Achieved close anatomic restoration of the sellar floor.
• Shortened overall operation time compared to traditional methods.
• Reduced trauma to nasal tissues and preserved olfactory function.
