Skull Base Surgery & It's Concept

Treatment of Skull & Brain Tumors Since tumors of the skull base sit underneath the brain, it can be difficult during surgery to get to the tumor in order to remove it.

This may lead to unwanted injury to otherwise normal brain tissue. The basic concept of skull base surgery is to approach the tumor from underneath or from the side by removing specific areas of skull base bone. Thus, the tumor can be exposed with little to no brain retraction. Skull base procedures, for example, may be designed to traverse the bone containing the ear (trans-temporal/trans-petrosal/retrosigmoid approaches), low on the temple beneath the brain (middle fossa approach), around the eye (trans-orbital/orbital-zygomatic/craniofacial approaches), through the nose or paranasal sinuses (trans-sphenoidal/...
