Keyhole approaches for skull base surgery and Endoscopic versus lateral approaches when and why

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Video 1: Dr. Danny Prevedello and Dr. Gabriel Zada discuss skull-based surgery, highlighting the benefits of minimally invasive endoscopic approaches for certain tumors such as pituitary adenomas and tuberculum cell meningiomas. They stress the importance of individualizing treatment based on tumor characteristics and provide case examples of successful surgeries using endoscopic techniques for various skull-based tumors.<br /><br />Video 2: Dr. Georges Nwaboue, Dr. Gabriel Zada, and Dr. Daniel Prevedello discuss surgical approaches for different types of brain tumors, specifically focusing on the controversy between endonasal and open approaches for tuberculum sella meningiomas and craniopharyngiomas. They discuss the challenges presented by hyperostosis in craniopharyngiomas and the efficacy of a two-stage approach. The panel also discusses different approaches for a patient with a cavernous malformation causing optic neuropathy and the management of supercellar meningiomas. They provide insights into the decision-making process for surgical approaches and the importance of radiation following surgery for grade 2 tumors.
