Abstract

Program Description: Endoscopic approaches to the skull base are being used with increasing frequency in tertiary care centers and in community settings. This miniseminar aims to clarify the current status of endoscopic skull base surgery. The evolving trends have led to controversies regarding the extent of endoscopic resections and utilization for malignancies. The panelists will review surgical techniques, contemporary surgical outcomes for paranasal sinus and spheno-clival cancers, disease-specific approaches, and quality of life after endoscopic surgery. Educational Objectives: (1) Recognize the role of endoscopic surgery in the management of skull base malignancies. (2) Describe the technical aspects of expanded endonasal surgical approaches to skull base tumors. (3) Assess the impact of endoscopic surgery on quality of life for skull base tumors.
