Abstract:Introduction Nasoseptal flap is widely used in reconstruction of the skull base to prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage after surgery for skull base lesions. There has been a debate on whether more severe olfactory dysfunction occurs after nasoseptal flap elevation than the conventional trans-sphenoidal approach.
Objective To compare the long-term recovery patterns associated with nasoseptal flap and the conventional trans-sphenoidal approach.
Methods The subjects were divided into the conve… Show more
