  • Title: Combined Endoscopic and Open Approaches in the Management of Sinonasal and Ventral Skull Base Malignancies.
    Author: Liu JK, Wong A, Eloy JA.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 2017 Apr; 50(2):331-346. PubMed ID: 28314401.
    Abstract:
    Combined transcranial and endoscopic endonasal approaches remain useful in the treatment of ventral skull base malignancies. The extended bifrontal transbasal approach provides wide access to the anterior ventral skull base and paranasal sinuses without transfacial incisions. In more extensive lesions, the bifrontal transbasal approach can then be combined with an endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) from below. This article reviews the indications, surgical technique, and operative nuances of combined transbasal and EEA (cranionasal) approaches for the surgical management of ventral skull base malignancies.
