Understanding skull base surgery
A high-level overview of when skull base surgery is considered and how endoscopic planning is approached.
Skull base surgery refers to specialist procedures used for selected lesions located at the interface of the nose, sinuses, brain, cranial nerves, and related structures.
Some cases may be suitable for endoscopic approaches, while others require different techniques depending on anatomy, diagnosis, and safety considerations.
Planning often involves imaging, endoscopy, pathology, and multidisciplinary discussion before a final surgical recommendation is made.
