Repair of the sellar floor using bioresorbable polydioxanone foils after endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: The described technique is an easy, inexpensive, and reliable method for sellar floor reconstruction and has a low CSF leakage rate. It is recommended when the risk of a postoperative CSF leak is high and there is still enough bony margin of the sellar floor left that enables a sufficient fixation of the foil.
