Endoscopic surgery for treatment of skull base hernia

The skull base has 3 layers:
Anterior layer: Created by the frontal bone in the middle with the ethmoid fragment, the two sides have eye sockets. Middle floor: There is a pituitary pit in the middle, an optic fissure in front, a cavernous sinus and a temporal fossa on both sides. Posterior layer: The middle has basal groove, occipital foramen, occipital crest, and internal occipital mound. The other two sides are cerebellar fossa. Anterior basilar hernia is a herniation of part of the brain parenchyma and meninges into the nose or anterior basilar sinuses. Using transnasal endoscopic surgery to treat these lesions is highly effective and significantly reduces the complication rate and hospital stay compared to other traditional treatments

Step 5: Using soft tissue, fascia temporomandibular, thigh muscle. If the hernia hole is more than 10mm, put a support plate with cartilage and bone septum. Then, use bio-glue to create adhesive. In the case of large fistulas, use a multilayer nasal graft or a nasal septum with a pedicle for patching. In case of need, use a foley tube to inflate the graft to support the graft. Drain the lumbar CSF if the hernia is larger than 1cm or there is increased intracranial pressure for 3-5 days. 2.3. Follow up after surgery Monitor pulse, blood pressure, respiration... Antibiotic treatment penetrates into CSF: 3rd generation cephalosporin, 4th generation Clean nose and throat after surgery Avoid coughing, sneezing, constipation after surgery Surgery Remove meche or catheter after 48 hours.
