Endoscopic Approaches to the Skull Base (Progress in Neurological Surgery, Vol. 26) (EPUB)

Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery: A Comprehensive Guide

Over the past decade, the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) has emerged as a powerful tool in the field of neurosurgery. This technique has significantly enhanced the capabilities of neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons, and craniofacial surgeons. A comprehensive guide, “Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery,” provides an in-depth overview of the role of transnasal approaches in treating a wide range of skull base diseases.

A Brief History of Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery

The journey from the microscope to the endoscope in endonasal surgery has been a transformative one. This book explores the evolution of these techniques, providing insights into the principles and methods that have shaped the field.

Techniques and Applications

The guide delves into the various techniques used in EEA, focusing on anatomical boundaries such as the pituitary fossa, suprasellar space, cavernous sinus, clivus, and anterior cranial fossa. It also covers access to the infratemporal and posterior fossae via both endoscopic endonasal and retrosigmoid approaches.

Reconstruction and Complications

Two critical aspects of EEA are reconstruction following minimally invasive skull base surgery and the potential complications associated with these approaches. The book provides detailed information on these topics, helping surgeons understand the challenges and opportunities presented by EEA.

Learning Curve and Future Directions

As with any new surgical technique, mastering EEA requires a significant learning curve. The guide discusses the challenges and opportunities that come with adopting these new approaches, offering valuable insights for both experienced and novice surgeons.

By providing a comprehensive overview of the principles, techniques, and applications of EEA, “Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery” serves as an indispensable resource for surgeons seeking to enhance their skills and stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in the field.
