Skull base surgery recovery and follow-up
What to expect after skull base surgery, including nasal care, surveillance, and longer-term review.
Recovery after skull base surgery varies with diagnosis and procedure type, but usually includes nasal care, wound review, endoscopic follow-up, and periodic imaging.
Patients should understand that recovery is not only about the immediate postoperative period but also about long-term surveillance, symptom monitoring, and multidisciplinary review when needed.
A structured follow-up plan helps clarify what symptoms are expected, what warning signs deserve attention, and how treatment success is monitored over time.
