Book cover Transsphenoidal Surgery

Abstract

The skull base is one of the most fascinating and complex areas; it can be involved in a variety of lesions, neoplastic and/or inflammatory and/or infectious, whose successful treatment may be troublesome, being overburdened by a high grade of invasiveness, morbidity, and mortality. Recently, technical advances and scientific progress have led to a progressive reduction of the invasiveness of these approaches and the possibility to access the skull base from the nose that gradually took place. The transsphenoidal approach developed perfectly fitting this conceptual way of thinking, being founded on the possibility of gaining access to the brain via a natural preconstituted path, i.e., sphenoid sinus cavity.
