Conditions

Patients scheduled to undergo endoscopic endonasal surgery requiring skull base dural reconstruction endoscopic endonasala surgery, skull base reconstruction

Interventions

Between 1 and 3 months prior to endoscopic endonasal tumor resection, two investigational medical devices, Bio-Sheet Makers (BSM2
Biotube Co., Ltd.), will be implanted into the abdomen under local anesthesia. These devices will be explanted under general anesthesia at the time of tumor resection to harvest sheet-like autologous

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: To be eligible for inclusion in this study, patients must meet all of the following criteria: 1.Patients with a waiting period for surgery of between 1 and 3 months. 2.Patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal surgery requiring reconstruction for an extensive dural defect (as defined below) created during the procedure. 3.Patients aged 18 years or older and under 75 years at the time of informed consent. 4.Patients who have provided written informed consent of their own free will after receiving adequate explanation and demonstrating sufficient understanding of the study. [Definition of "Extensive Dural Defect"] An "extensive dural defect" is defined as a condition among Esposito grade III cases where the dural opening beyond the diaphragma sellae forms a planar defect, rather than a simple linear incision. This condition renders reliable watertight closure by fat tissue packing alone difficult, making "planar" reconstruction using sheet-like tissue (e.g., fascia lata) indispensable.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (HbA1c [NGSP] >= 8.5%). 2. Severe renal disease (BUN >= 25 mg/dL or serum creatinine >= 2.0 mg/dL). 3. Pregnancy or suspected pregnancy. 4. Currently receiving antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy. 5. Lactating/breastfeeding. 6. Administration of another investigational drug or product within 3 months prior to implantation of the study device. 7. Any other condition that the principal investigator or sub-investigator considers inappropriate for study participation.
