ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Introducción: La elaboración de colgajos ha representado un cambio en reconstrucción de defectos resultantes de exéresis de tumoraciones de base de cráneo. No siempre indispensables, existen circunstancias, planificados o no, donde debemos emplearlos. Preservando los pedículos de la mucosa, damos cobertura a urgencias intraquirúrgicas, como fístula LCR no sospechada, así como reintervenciones. Objetivo: Presentar nuestra experiencia en pacientes, a quienes hemos realizado colgajo tipo rescue flap. Material y método: Se diseña este colgajo, sin comprometer su pedículo. En caso de fístula, sospecha de ésta o herniación del diafragma selar, se extiende, cubriendo el defecto. Resultados: De 34 pacientes intervenidos de patología hipofisaria endoscópicamente, en 18 diseñamos colgajo tipo rescue flap. 12 casos se elaboraron, no utilizándolos. En 4 pacientes con extenso tumores lo empleamos preventivamente. En 1 caso, de reintervención, previamente con colgajo Hadad izquierdo, realizamos colgajo de mucosa contralateral. En otro, diseñamos un rescue flap derecho, al objetivar salida de LCR, sellamos con este colgajo. No evidenciamos fístulas. Discusión: Esta técnica consiste en levantar parcialmente mucosa del potencial colgajo, preservando su pedículo, pudiendo utilizarse en casos de fístula LCR no programada, o reintervenciones. Sin realizar colgajos innecesariamente. Conclusión: La técnica rescue flap favorece un corredor quirúrgico, menos invasivo, manteniendo mucosa para eventuales reintervenciones.


ABSTRACT Introduction: The development of flaps has represented a change in reconstruction of defects resulting from excision of skull base tumors. It not always indispensable, there are circumstances, planned or not, where we must use them. Preserving the pedicles of the mucosa, we cover intraoperative emergencies, such as unsuspected CSF fistula, as well as reinterventions. Aim: We present our experience where we performed rescue flap. Material and method: This flap is designed without compromising its pedicle. In case of fistula, suspicion of this or herniation of the selar diaphragm, it extends, covering the defect. Results: Of 34 patients who underwent endoscopic surgery for pituitary pathology, in 18 we designed a rescue flap. 12 cases were made, not using them. In 4 patients with extensive tumors we used it preventively. In 1 case, of reintervention previously with left Hadad flap, we performed contralateral mucosa flap. In another, we designed a right rescue flap, when we observed LCR output, we seal with this flap. We did not show fistulas. Discussion: This technique consists in partially lifting the mucosa of the potential flap, preserving its pedicle, and may be used in cases of unscheduled CSF fistula, or reinterventions. Without flapping unnecessarily. Conclusions: The Rescue Flap technique favors a less invasive surgical corridor, maintaining mucosa for posible reinterventions.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is characterized by the triad of gait apraxia, dementia and urinary incontinence associated with ventriculomegaly and normal pressure of cerebrospinal fluid. Treatment is accomplished through the implantation of a ventricular shunt (VPS), however some complications are still frequent, like overdrainage due to siphon effect. This study analyses the performance of a valve with anti-siphon device (SPHERA®) in the treatment of patients with NPH and compares it with another group of patients with NPH who underwent the same procedure without anti-siphon mechanism (PS Medical® valve). 30 patients were consecutively enrolled in two groups with 15 patients each and followed clinically and radiologically for 1 year. Patients submitted to VPS with SPHERA® valve had the same clinical improvement as patients submitted to VPS with PS Medical®. However, complications and symptomatology due to overdrainage were significantly lower in SPHERA® group, suggesting it as a safe tool to treat NPH.


RESUMO A hidrocefalia de pressão normal (HPN) é caracterizada pela tríade de sintomas de apraxia de marcha, demência e incontinência urinária. O tratamento padrão é realizado através de implantação de derivação ventricular, porém várias complicações são frequentes, como a hiperdrenagem secundária ao efeito sifão. Este estudo avaliou o resultado da válvula SPHERA® no tratamento desses pacientes em comparação com um grupo controle (PS Medical®). 30 pacientes foram consecutivamente alocados em dois grupos de 15 e seguidos por 1 ano. Pacientes com a válvula SPHERA® tiveram o mesmo grau de melhora clínica em comparação ao grupo controle, no entanto as complicações diagnósticadas e sintomatologia secundária à hiperdrenagem foi significativamente inferior no grupo da válvula SPHERA® group, sugerindo-a como uma ferramenta segura e aplicável.

ABSTRACT

Objective The purpose of this study was to describe the endoscopic combined “transseptal/transnasal” approach with a pedicled nasoseptal flap for pituitary adenoma and skull base reconstruction, especially with respect to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula.Method Ninety-one consecutive patients with pituitary adenomas were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent the endoscopic combined “transseptal/transnasal” approach by the single team including the otorhinolaryngologists and neurosurgeons. Postoperative complications related to the flap were analyzed.Results Intra- and postoperative CSF fistulae were observed in 36 (40%) and 4 (4.4%) patients, respectively. Among the 4 patients, lumbar drainage and bed rest healed the CSF fistula in 3 patients and reoperation for revision was necessary in one patient. Other flap-related complications included nasal bleeding in 3 patients (3.3%).Conclusion The endoscopic combined “transseptal/transnasal” approach is most suitable for a two-surgeon technique and a pedicled nasoseptal flap is a reliable technique for preventing postoperative CSF fistula in pituitary surgery.


Objetivo O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever o acesso endoscópico transeptal/transnasal combinado com a criação do flap naso-septal pediculado para reconstrução da base do crânio em cirurgias de resseção de adenoma de hipófise, especialmente nos casos que ocorrem fístula líquido cefalorraquidiano (FLC).Método Noventa e um pacientes consecutivos portadores de adenoma de hipófise foram retrospectivamente revisados. Complicações pós-operatórias relacionadas ao flap foram analisadas.Resultados Fístulas líquido cefalorraquidiano intra e pós-operatórias foram observadas em 36 (40%) e 4 (4,4%) dos pacientes, respectivamente. Entre os 4 pacientes, drenagem lombar e repouso absoluto foram suficientes para o fechamento da fístula e intervenção cirúrgica foi necessária em apenas um paciente. Outra complicação relacionada ao flap foi o sangramento em 3 (3,3%) dos pacientes.Conclusão O acesso endoscópico transeptal/transnasal combinado é melhor aplicado quando realizado por dois cirurgiões e o flap naso-septal é uma técnica eficaz para prevenção de fístula pós-operatória em cirurgias de hipófise.
