Abstract

With the development of endoscopic and surgical instruments, expanded endoscopic endonasal surgery for skull base tumors has been widely performed. Compared with conventional microscopic transsphenoidal surgery, endoscopic surgery provides a wider view and clearer images, owing to the introduction of a high-resolution camera.
