Popis: BACKGROUND Proper skull base reconstruction after endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery is of great importance to decrease the rate of complications. OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and efficacy of reconstruction with materials other than fat graft and naso-septal flaps (NSF) to avoid their associated morbidities. METHODS The authors' institutional database for patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal approach for pituitary adenoma was reviewed. Exclusion criteria included recurrence, postradiation therapy, and reconstruction by fat graft or NSF. They were divided into group A, where collagen matrix (CM) (DuraGen® Plus Matrix, Integra LifeSciences Corporation, Plainsboro, New Jersey) alone was used; group B, where CM and simple mucoperiosteum graft were used and group C, which included cases without CM utilization. RESULTS The study included 252 patients. No age, gender, or body mass index statistically significant difference between groups. Group B included the largest tumor size (23.0 mm) in comparison to groups A (18.0 mm) and C (13.0 mm). Suprasellar extension was more frequently present (49.4%) in comparison to groups A (29.8%, P = .001) and C (21.2%, P
