Download or read book Endoscopic Approaches to the Skull Base written by Amin B. Kassam and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviews the role of endoscopic endonasal techniques During the last decade the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) to the skull base has become a very powerful method to add to the array of neurosurgical technologies. This volume provides a broad overview of the role of transnasal approaches in a wide spectrum of skull base diseases. It starts with a historical perspective of the evolution from the microscope to the endoscope in endonasal surgery and then explores in depth the principles and techniques of the various methods. Discussed are topics based on anatomical boundaries: pituitary fossa to the suprasellar space to the cavernous sinus, clivus and the anterior cranial fossa. Access to the infratemporal and posterior fossae via both the endoscopic endonasal and the retrosigmoid approaches are reviewed. In addition, the critical topic of reconstruction following 'minimally invasive' skull base surgery and finally the learning curve and complications associated with the applications of these new and exciting approaches are discussed. This volume will provide the latest knowledge to help neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons as well as craniofacial surgeons understand the applications and practice of this important technique.

This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because the base of the skull has proven to be one of the most challenging regions of the body to access, treatment options were once limited for patients with tumors or lesions in this area. However, with recent advancements and breakthroughs in treatment, patients with skull base tumors now have an array of surgical options that can help them return to leading a normal and active life. The Endoscopic Endonasal Approach (EEA) is an innovative surgical technique used to remove brain tumors and lesions-some as large as softballs-all through the nose.
Download or read book Anterior Skull Base Tumors written by P. Nicolai and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, interest in the management of anterior skull base tumors has been fostered by the introduction and subsequent rapid expansion of indications of transnasal endoscopic techniques. In parallel, extraordinary progress has been made in all the other disciplines which are involved in the complex process of managing anterior skull base tumors, leading to substantial improvements in diagnosis and treatment. The anterior skull base can be involved in a large variety of tumors of a varying nature and histology, which in the majority of cases originate from adjacent anatomic sites. In fact, primary lesions of the anterior skull base mainly include osteoma and other tumors originating from bone and cartilage. Tumors involving the anterior skull base have their origin prevalently in the sinonasal tract, but lesions developing on the intracranial site, such as meningiomas, may also extend caudally to encroach upon this area. All these lesions are rare, which means that the pertinent literature does not include prospective studies or treatment guidelines based on a high level of evidence. In view of the extreme histological variability of lesions involving the anterior skull base, much emphasis has been placed on addressing the different nuances of treatment in relation to histology, especially for malignant tumors. The chapters focusing on surgery provide divergent views on selection criteria for a specific surgical technique, which is the aim of this publication.

This book was released on 2023-11-09 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For neurosurgeons, skull base neurosurgery is as complex, dangerous, challenging, and charming as Mount Everest. The vigorous development of neuroendoscopy has opened a new perspective for skull base neurosurgery. Due to the special structure of skull base, there are often "blind spots" left out by microscope, while neuroendoscopy is the promising technology to overcome the defects. With its minimally invasive advantages, neuroendoscopy is gradually becoming popular in neurosurgical operation. In recent years, neuroendoscopic surgery for pituitary adenoma, the anterior skull base and sellar turcica meningioma, clivus chordoma and tumors in the foramen magnum area have been reported, as well as for atlantoaxial lesions. Neuroendoscopy for skull base midline surgical area has attracted accumulating attention, and its application is widely used in basic and clinical research.
