Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery Head and Neck Cancer Surgery

Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery Head and Neck Cancer Surgery

Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery is a highly advanced, minimally invasive technique used to treat tumors located deep in the head and neck region—particularly at the base of the skull, sinuses, nasal cavity, and nasopharynx. Unlike traditional open surgery, this technique uses specialized endoscopes inserted through the nose, allowing surgeons to reach complex areas without external incisions. It’s often used for removing both cancerous and non-cancerous growths.

Head & Neck Cancer Surgery includes the treatment of cancers in the mouth, throat, voice box, and nearby regions. Surgeons aim not only to remove the cancer but also to preserve vital functions like speech and swallowing.

How Does It Work?

Using an endoscope—a thin tube with a camera and light—surgeons navigate through the nasal passage to access and remove tumors at the skull base or nearby areas. This technique offers superior visibility and precision while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. In many cases, surgery is paired with radiation or chemotherapy as part of a multi-modal treatment plan.

Who Can Benefit from This Treatment?

• Patients with skull base tumors

• Sinonasal or nasopharyngeal cancers

• Select cases of pituitary tumors, craniofacial tumors, or head & neck cancers

• Patients needing surgery with minimal scarring and quicker recovery
