Description
Summary:The skull base surgery involves a complex of anatomic structures and disease spectrums. The endoscopic surgery techniques have been revolutionizing, following the imaging evolvement including 3D techniques and neurosurgical navigation as well as the material and theoretical innovation of skull base reconstruction, which made the skull base surgery achieving a giant leap. We herein review and analyze the development of skull base surgery in terms of disease spectrum, surgical plan, imaging and skull base reconstruction. Multi⁃disciplinary team (MDT) of skull base diseases should be emphasized.
