Periventricular gliomas: Evaluation of the risks associated with ventricular opening in two cohorts-one prospective with TachoSil® for ventricular sealing and the other without it retrospective. Historically, ventricular opening (VO) has been associated with a greater risk of postoperative complications and a risk of leptomeningeal spread (LMS) in periventricular gliomas especially high grade gliomas. There are no specific products on the market for ventricular sealing with registered studies. TachoSil® is widely used for supportive sealing of the dura mater. We wanted to assess the effectiveness and safety of TachoSil® as a ventricular sealant for periventricular gliomas surgery with VO. A single-center, analytical, and observational study was conducted. Two cohorts of patients with gliomas
Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery reconstruction using the fibrin sealant patch Tachosil(®). The incidence of CSF leak following endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery remains the most important measure in the success of any repair. The nasoseptal flap (NSF) has played a pivotal role in reconstructing defects. However, morbidity associated with the NSF includes bleeding, septal injury, altered smell and crusting. Tachosil is an absorbable fibrin sealant patch that promotes haemostasis and wound healing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Tachosil to repair intraoperative defects during an endoscopic transsphenoidal approach. All patients who underwent an endoscopic transsphenoidal approach with the use of Tachosil at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham
