Surgeries were classified by intraoperative CSF leakage grade according to Esposito\u2019s classification.

Nasoseptal flaps were used in only eight surgeries (1.4%), and fascia was not used at all, either for watertight dural suturing or for multilayer reconstruction. The overall postoperative CSF leakage rate was 1.8% (10\/558). The leakage rates by intraoperative CSF leak grade were 0%, 1.7%, 5.6%, and 1.1% for grades 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Postoperative CSF leakage was associated with unfamiliar techniques and excessive bucking during extubation. During the collagen matrix period, although 33.8% of surgeries involved grade 3 high-flow CSF leaks, only one surgery (0.8%; 1\/130) resulted in postoperative CSF leakage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>As a less invasive technique, skull base reconstruction using FGGS and\/or a collagen matrix was effective in reducing postoperative CSF leakage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11102-025-01588-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,22]],"date-time":"2025-10-22T17:28:00Z","timestamp":1761154080000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Less invasive skull base reconstruction using gelatin sponge and collagen matrix to prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage after endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery: experience in 558 cases"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-7792-5633","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masanori","family":"Yonenaga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8813-5038","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shingo","family":"Fujio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0825-4537","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryutaro","family":"Makino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-1831-9428","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jun","family":"Sugata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-1011-9193","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomoko","family":"Hanada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-3856-1724","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yushi","family":"Nagano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8853-8769","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nayuta","family":"Higa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1764-0963","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hitoshi","family":"Yamahata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6192-048X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kazunori","family":"Arita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7912-2024","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Koji","family":"Yoshimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4170-4878","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryosuke","family":"Hanaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"1588_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"843","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp-2012-303194","volume":"84","author":"M Ammirati","year":"2013","unstructured":"Ammirati M, Wei L, Ciric I (2013) Short-term outcome of endoscopic versus microscopic pituitary adenoma surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
