Sinonasal outcome after endoscopic mononostril transsphenoidal surgery: A single center cohort study

Conclusions Endoscopic endonasal procedures to skull base lesions achieve high radicality with low complication rates. However, they induce temporary and permanent nasal complaints and complications. Thereby, resurgeries increase the risk of nasal complaints and the use of nasal tamponades might increase the sinonasal outcome. Further prospective studies are necessary to objectify the evaluation of postsurgical nasal complications.
