Conditions
Summary
The papers propose a new method to prevent postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Doctors use the absorbable polyglycolic acid (PGA) and fibrin glue to repair in surgery, prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage and reduce the necessity of postoperative lumbar drainage after surgery. This study will analyze the changes in cerebrospinal fluid leakage in patients with pituitary tumors and skull base tumors after surgery, and further understand the effectiveness of Neoveil , as the basis for the development of new treatments.

Interventions
This study plans to enroll patients with pituitary tumors who need to undergo surgical treatment according to current routine medical standards. After the tumor tissue is removed, the integrity of the spider web or skull base will be thoroughly checked by endoscopy during the operation to confirm whether there is any cerebrospinal fluid leakage. At the end of the operation, use a 100\*50\*0.15mm, green sheet-like Navi tissue repair patch, cut it aseptically to fit the size of the defect for repair (the common case is 2\*3.5cm defect), and place it on the spider web or skull base Tissue repair at the surgical site to prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
