This article, titled "Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery among Pediatric Patients: A 14-Year Review," explores the use and outcomes of endoscopic skull base surgery in pediatric patients. The study analyzed data from a tertiary care center from 2009 to 2023 and compared pediatric patients (under 18 years old) to adult patients. The most common indication for surgery in both groups was a pituitary adenoma. The study found that the rate of intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks was high in both pediatric and adult patients, but postoperative CSF leaks were rare. The length of hospital stay after surgery was similar for both groups. [Extracted from the article]
