Sinonasal and skull base endoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique used to treat conditions affecting the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and the base of the skull. Utilizing specialized endoscopic instruments, surgeons access these areas through the nostrils or mouth, allowing for precise removal of tumors, correction of anatomical abnormalities, or treatment of chronic sinusitis without the need for large incisions.
This approach reduces recovery time, minimizes scarring, and often results in fewer complications compared to traditional open surgery. Indications for this surgery include sinonasal tumors, chronic sinusitis unresponsive to other treatments, and certain skull base disorders.
Preoperative imaging and careful planning are essential to ensure the success of the procedure and to avoid damage to critical structures.
