Suggest Me To Go For Either Endoscopic Surgery Or Neurosurgery For Meningocele With CSF Leak

I have a meningocele with CSF leak in my left frontal sinus. The neurosurgeon and ENT doctor are discussing how best to treat this - endoscopic surgery through the nose or neurosurgery through the head. What are your thoughts? I am a 56 yr. old female, 6'1, 170 lbs.

Both are good methods. A method is as good as surgeon. I think let your surgeon decide if he is good in endoscopy surgery than he should go ahead with this and if he is feeling that he may be more comfortable in open procedure than let him do that.
