A Practical Guide to Repairing Rhinologic Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks (2023 AMW)
2023 AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting & OTO Experience
There is a broad spectrum of sinonasal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak repairs that range from spontaneous, to iatrogenic, to straightforward transphenoidal post-operative cases. While there have been a number of different descriptions on repair techniques, we would like to provide a step-by-step surgical plan for any practitioner who may encounter any of these scenarios to provide a safe surgical method for repair and post-operative management. We will also review pitfalls in reconstruction that have led to additional complications in sinonasal CSF leak repairs.
