Liqoseal\u00ae (Polyganics bv, Groningen, The Netherlands) is a CE-approved bioresorbable sealant patch for use as an adjunct to standard methods of cranial dural closure to prevent CSF leakage. This study aims to evaluate the application of Liqoseal in transsphenoidal surgery ex vivo and in vivo.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>1. We created an ex vivo setup simulating the sphenoidal anatomy, using a fluid pump and porcine dura positioned on a conus with the anatomical dimensions of the sella to evaluate whether the burst pressure of Liqoseal applied to a bulging surface was above physiological intracranial pressure. Burst pressure was measured with a probe connected to dedicated computer software. Because of the challenging transsphenoidal environment, we tested in 4 groups with varying compression weight and time for the application of Liqoseal. 2. We subsequently describe the application of Liqoseal\u00ae in 3 patients during transsphenoidal procedures with intraoperative CSF leakage to prevent postoperative CSF leakage.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>1. Ex vivo: The overall mean burst pressure in the transsphenoidal setup was 231 (\u00b1\u2009103) mmHg. There was no significant difference in mean burst pressure between groups based on application weight and time (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.227). 2. In Vivo: None of the patients had a postoperative CSF leak. No nose passage problems were observed. One patient had a postoperative meningitis and ventriculitis, most likely related to preoperative extensive CSF leakage. Postoperative imaging did not show any local infection, swelling, or other device-related adverse effects.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We assess the use of Liqoseal\u00ae to seal a dural defect during an endoscopic transsphenoidal procedure as to be likely safe and potentially effective.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00701-022-05477-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,9]],"date-time":"2023-01-09T17:03:54Z","timestamp":1673283834000},"page":"1511-1521","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Ex vivo and in vivo evaluation of transsphenoidal Liqoseal application to prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"165","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4296-1331","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emma M.
