Surgical management of skull base osseous lesions:present challenges and future perspectives
KANG Jun
Abstract：Skull base osseous lesions,including various benign and malignant tumors,and developmental abnormalities like chordomas,osteomas,chondromas,osteosarcomas,fibrous dysplasia(FD),endolymphatic sac tumors,et al,are challenging to treat due to their deep anatomical location near critical nerves and vessels.Surgical treatment demands a balance between complete lesion resection and neural function preservation.In recent years,advances in endoscopy,imaging,intraoperative navigation,proton radiation therapy,and multi-disciplinary team(MDT)have led to continuous optimization of treatment strategies for skull base osseous lesions.This paper briefly reviews the current surgical strategies and breakthroughs for skull base osseous lesions.
