    Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (TSA) offers advantages like reduced trauma and complications compared to traditional approaches.

  • 2

    Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is a significant complication of TSA, especially with larger tumors.

  • 3

    Current reconstruction techniques, including fascia lata and PNSF, may not securely attach to the dura, risking CSF leakage.

  • 4

    The study proposes a novel dural suturing technique using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) to enhance repair reliability and reduce complications.

  • 5

    Five patients underwent this technique, demonstrating its potential effectiveness in preventing postoperative CSF leakage.
