Collection Overview
This series presents high-quality surgical videos demonstrating advanced minimally invasive endoscopic techniques and approaches, including endoscopic endonasal, endoscopic transorbital (TONES), endoscopic transmaxillary, endoscopic keyhole skull base, and robotic-assisted procedures. These videos focus on the management of a wide range of skull base pathologies, such as otosclerosis, cholesteatoma, implantation otology cases, CSF leaks, and skull base tumors, including pituitary tumors, craniopharyngiomas, Rathke cleft cysts, chordomas, chondrosarcomas, angiofibromas, schwannomas, skull base meningiomas, cerebellopontine angle tumors, infratemporal fossa lesions, and facial nerve pathologies.
The videos emphasize key procedural steps, preoperative planning, reasons to select the particular approach, intraoperative decision-making, complication avoidance, and long-term outcomes, offering narrated guidance for both trainees and specialists. With the increasing demand for precision and minimally invasive surgery, these videos address existing gaps by demonstrating novel techniques, including endonasal and endotransorbital skull-base access and AI-assisted surgical procedures.
This video atlas serves as a valuable resource for trainees acquiring new skills and specialists refining their techniques. Furthermore, it promotes collaboration between otolaryngology and neurosurgery, illustrating how interdisciplinary cooperation can establish new standards in patient care by reducing recovery times, preserving vital functions, and improving outcomes in skull base surgery.
