Nevertheless&#44; in terms of the incidence of postoperative CSF leaks after PA surgery&#44; it might be thought that the greater scope of the endoscopic approaches &#40;particularly the extended ones&#41;&#44; with greater disruption of bone and meningeal structures in the skull base&#44; could perhaps make this complication more likely to occur&#44; despite using advanced preventive sealing techniques&#44;

Fat&#44; fascia&#44; muscle and autologous bone are usually used for this&#44; as well as sealing with different materials such as synthetic polymers and metal meshes&#46; There is also the alternative of using a lumbar CSF drainage system &#40;external or internal&#41; to reduce intracranial pressure and thereby facilitate healing of the dehisced area through which the leak has occurred&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0245"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">19&#44;29&#44;30</span></a></p><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In our practice&#44;
