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 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.
