Endoscopic Anterior Skull Base Resection by RRC

An endoscopic anterior skull base resection may be necessary in select neoplasms. Obviating the need for any external incisions, this approach has become increasingly valuable to address a number of sinonasal neoplasms affecting the anterior skull base, through a minimally invasive technique. This video reviews the endoscopic anterior skull base approach for a typical esthesioneuroblastoma. It also touches on the reconstructive technique using a free alloderm graft, which has been in use by us for over 10 years, and has yielded consistent results, with no CSF leaks.
