Random nasoseptal flap for revision skull base reconstruction. [PDF]
The nasoseptal flap (NSF) has become the workhorse of endoscopic skull base reconstruction (ESBR). With the increase in endoscopic skull base procedures, there has also been the need for staged and revision procedures where the use of the NSF is no longer an option. These cases have posed new and interesting challenges to skull base surgeons especially

Nasoseptal “Rescue” flap: A novel modification of the nasoseptal flap technique for pituitary surgery [PDF]
AbstractObjectives:The introduction of the pedicled nasoseptal flap (NSF) has decreased postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak rates from >20% to <5% during expanded endoscopic skull base surgery. The NSF must be raised at the beginning of the operation to protect the posterior pedicle during the expanded sphenoidotomy.
