Skull base surgery recovery and follow-up

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.
