Outcomes of minimally invasive endoscopic resection of anterior skull base neoplasms
The Laryngoscope, 11/02/09

Batra PS et al. – This study validated technical feasibility of MIER for diversity of benign and malignant ASB histopathology. Majority of patients were able to avoid adjunct craniotomy, whereas lumbar drainage was utilized in selective cases. This surgical strategy resulted in low complication rate and acceptable disease–free survival in patients with advanced T3 and T4 malignant lesions. Future studies should focus on multicenter trials to facilitate more robust survival analysis and comparison to open surgical approaches.
