Abstract
IntroductionSkull base surgery, although recognised as an interdisciplinary specialty involving both Neurosurgery and Otolaryngology in the West, has been the domain of the Neurosurgeon in West Bengal. Several superspecialty healthcare facilities in the state are now actively promoting endoscopic skull base surgery.
 Structured trainingThe Pittsburgh group has published a systematic training programme for skull base surgery.
