Is reconstructed bone chip detachment a risk factor for sinusitis after transsphenoidal surgery?
Regular follow-up with nasal endoscopy can prevent delayed diagnosis of postoperative sphenoid sinusitis. Culture-directed antibiotics with aggressive endoscopic debridement are an effective treatment for these patients. An optimal reconstruction strategy should be further developed to reduce bone chip detachment and secondary sinusitis.
Donor CCSP A38G polymorphism is associated with decreased CCSP levels early after lung transplantation and poor long-term outcomes.
