Clinical Trial Summary

Prospective investigation of the effectivity of L-PRF membranes for skull base reconstruction after endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery (transsphenoidal) versus classical closure techniques.


Clinical Trial Description

The investigators want to demonstrate in a prospective, randomized trial including 220 patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery that the use of L-PRF is non-inferior to classical fibrin sealants. Approximately 220 patients undergoing cranial surgery will be enrolled in this randomized, controlled, single-blinded multicenter study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of autologous blood-derived products (L-PRF and fibrinogen) compared to the fibrin sealants as an adjunct for dural repair. ;
