Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Male and female patients aged 18 to 75; 2. An endoscopic transnasal midline anterior skull base surgery is planned, but cerebrospinal fluid leakage may occur during the operation. 3. The patient was conscious before the operation and had normal limb movement, and could cooperate with postoperative bed and non-bed treatment. 4. There are no severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction or other complications that affect the tolerance to general anesthesia and surgery. 5. The patient has good compliance, voluntarily participates in this clinical study and signs the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Pre-existing bed-rest–related complications such as hypostatic pneumonia, lower-extremity venous thrombosis, or pressure ulcers. 2.Anticipated requirement for prolonged post-operative bed rest. 3.No cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred during surgery, or dural defect extending beyond the midline anterior skull-base region. 4.Any other condition that, in the investigator’s opinion, renders the participant unsuitable for enrollment. 5.Patients with poor treatment compliance.
