New findings of the doctoral dissertation:
This is a detailed and complete study of endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery with clear indications for Kassam grade I, II, III craniopharyngeal tumors Simple transsphenoidal approach is for small tumors located in the hypophyseal fossa and extended transsphenoidal approach is for larger tumors, which have larger and higher invasion to the third ventricle
The study also provided a method for cranial restructions with the use
of nasal wall pedical flaps, along with self-healing material, to reduce the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage while operating tumors located in the skull base
This dissertation showed the outcomes of craniopharyngioma surgery
by using endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach with the total resection rate of 52%, nearly total resection rate of 38% And it also pointed out the accidents and complications encountered during the surgery for surgeons to improve the quality of treatment
