Summary

One of the most common combined approaches to skull base tumors includes a transcranial and endoscopic endonasal approach to the anterior and central skull base. Independently these are two common operative procedures employed in the modern treatment of skull base lesions, and have been favored over other historical approaches such as craniofacial, transfacial, and midface degloving due to decreased morbidity and mortality. When these approaches are combined, they add a new solution to the neurosurgeon’s armamentarium, providing a relatively minimally invasive approach with maximal resection in indicated complex lesions.
