Microscopic Craniotomy for Skull Base Tumor Resection (Anterior/Middle/Posterior Skull Base)

How Microscopic Craniotomy for Skull Base Tumor Resection (Anterior/Middle/Posterior Skull Base) is performed

Under general anesthesia, the anterior/middle/posterior skull base approach is selected according to the location of the lesion, combined with a microscope, intraoperative navigation and neuroelectrophysiological monitoring (IONM). After the surgical field is established, the tumor is separated from the nerves and blood vessels, decompressed if necessary, and functional structures are preserved as much as possible. Then the dura mater and skull base are repaired, and autologous or artificial materials can be used for reconstruction. Postoperative monitoring of intracranial pressure, consciousness, cranial nerve function, bleeding and infection is performed. The goal is to control the lesion and maintain nerve function under controllable risks. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital plan.
