title: Osteoplastic opening of the sellar floor in transsphenoidal surgery: technical note.
abstract: The authors propose a technique of opening the sellar floor during a transsphenoidal approach by means of two small bone flaps hinged sideward. Both opening and reconstruction of the sellar floor may be improved by this method, which may be used when the floor is paper-like.
