Extended endoscopic endonasal approach to the midline skull base: the evolving role of transsphenoidal surgery.
The evolution of the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal technique, which was initially reserved only for sellar lesions through the sphenoid sinus cavity, has lead in the last decades to a progressive possibility to access the skull base from the nose. This route allows midline access and visibility to the suprasellar, retrosellar and parasellar space while obviating brain retraction, and mak...
متن کاملEndoscopic endonasal pituitary and skull base surgery.
Here we describe the procedures of endoscopic pituitary and skull base surgery in our institute. We also review the literature to reveal recent advances in this field. Endonasal approach via the sphenoid ostium was carried out for pituitary lesions without the nasal speculum. Postoperative nasal packing was basically not needed in such cases. For meningiomas, craniopharyngiomas, and giant pitui...
متن کاملEndonasal surgery of the ventral skull base--endoscopic transcranial surgery.
Skull base surgery is evolving from traditional transfacial and transcranial approaches to the endoscopic endonasal approach, a less intrusive corridor for accessing the ventral skull base. This technique eliminates facial scars, expedites recovery, and obviates brain retraction. The goals of surgical excision, whether palliative or curative, are identical: an approach that is less disruptive t...
متن کاملToward Video-Based Navigation for Endoscopic Endonasal Skull Base Surgery
Endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery (ESBS) requires high accuracy to ensure safe navigation of the critical anatomy at the anterior skull base. Current navigation systems provide approximately 2 mm accuracy. This level of registration error is due in part from the indirect nature of tracking used. We propose a method to directly track the position of the endoscope using video data. Our meth...
متن کاملOlfactory and sinonasal outcomes in endoscopic transsphenoidal skull-base surgery.
BACKGROUND Endoscopic anterior skull-base surgery has been previously suggested to cause a significant deterioration in olfactory function. Given the impact on quality of life, the objective of this study was to determine the effect of a unilateral middle-turbinate-sacrificing approach on olfactory function and sinonasal outcome. METHODS Prospective cohort study comparing olfactory and sinona...
