About Skull Base Surgery

The skull base is the portion of the skull where the brain is nestled. The skull base can be found behind the eye and nasal cavity, where the skull slopes downward. In terms of surgery, skull base surgery is newer than most other surgeries. When a patient undergoes skull base surgery, most times a team of specialists are involved. These specialists may include head and neck surgeons, radiologists and skull base surgeons.

Skull Base Surgery can be minimally invasive. Endoscopic Endonasal Approach (EEA) surgery is minimally invasive. The surgery is performed through the nose and sinuses. The procedure is performed in response to a lesion on the brain or brain tumor.  

In the past, when a lesion or brain tumor was found, an open craniotomy was performed. An open craniotomy involves cutting open the scalp and skull in order for surgeons to access the tumor. With the Endoscopic Endonasal Approach, there is no scarring, it is less likely there will be complications and recovery time is shorter. The goal is to remove the tumor or lesion with the least damage to the body.

Symptoms for a head or neck cancer are fairly similar to allergy symptoms and can include headaches, nasal pressure, stuffy nose and more. These symptoms do not dictate a tumor, however if symptoms persist, or come on quickly, it is important to consult a doctor and discuss the problems you are experiencing.

When a patient needs skull base surgery, surgeons feel the patient’s best odds for success come with the first treatment. Therefore it is imperative that the tumor or lesion is understood, that surgeons are aware if the tumor or lesion has spread, if it is affecting other body parts and how complicated the surgery might be.

In order to get an accurate diagnosis, several doctors and surgeons should be consulted. If you believe you have a head or neck tumor, be sure to seek the help of a specialist instead of a general practitioner. It is important to work with someone familiar with your type of problem. Getting the best possible care will increase odds of survival.

No two patients are alike. Therefore reaction to treatments will differ depending on the person. Having a team of knowledgeable surgeons will help tailor treatment to the individual. Beyond skull base surgery, chemotherapy or radiation is often needed.

Patient recovery times vary after skull base surgery. Recovery times and requirements vary depending upon the location of the lesion, the size of the lesion, interaction of the lesion with surrounding vital bodily functions, and the effectiveness of the skull base surgery. Patients recovering from skull base surgery should follow their physician’s instructions and keep in close contact with their medical professional regarding any changes that occur soon after surgery that could be related to the procedure.
