Reconstruction of the cranial base is often necessary after transsphenoidal surgery to prevent the occurrence of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea and to maintain anatomic integrity. In most cases, sellar packing (fat, muscle, gelatin sponge) may be supported by bone or cartilage harvested at the time of surgery. The use of synthetic material, however, becomes desirable in cases in which an autograft is not available. Low-molecular-weight polylactide implants may serve as an effective alternative because they are immunologically inert, magnetic resonance imaging-compatible, and easily contoured to custom-fit a defect.
