Abstract
The evolution of the endoscopic skull base surgery in the last ten years had led to the development of new surgical reconstructive techniques. In the endoscopic reconstructive surgery of the CSF leaks both synthesis and natural materials. The advancement of the endoscopic reconstructive surgery was closely linked with the production of new synthesis materials. The aim of the paper is to compare the efficacy of synthesis versus natural materials in the closure of CSF leaks and to point out certain rules of when and where to use a synthesis or natural material.
