[Bleeding Control and Dissection in Skull Base Surgery].

Adequate control of bleeding and precise dissection techniques are required at every step of skull base surgery. Prompt identification of bleeding points, appropriate selection of hemostasis technique, and accuracy of the procedure are mandatory. Semi-sharp dissection is a multipurpose technique, while the use of sharp and blunt dissection techniques is based on each situation. In this report, we introduce our hemostasis and dissection techniques, including fibrin glue-soaked hemostatic fabric, Gore-Tex patching, and SS forceps dissection.
