Endoscopic skull based surgery is an innovative technique that is used to remove lesions such as brain tumors through the nose by traversing sinuses. An endoscope is used to provide surgeons with internal images as they operate. Thanks in large part to modern technology, this procedure generally does not require large incisions or long hospitalization. Today, physicians are able to perform the surgery in a minimally invasive fashion, with shorter hospitalization, and without visible scars on the face or scalp.
This minimally invasive approach uses the nose and sinus cavities to remove tumors and lesions in difficult to reach areas at the skull base. This procedure makes it possible for physicians to operate on areas that were once deemed inoperable without disturbing the face or skull.
During the procedure, an endoscopic skull base surgeon works along-side neurosurgeons. This combination of specialties ensures the best care possible for patients.
