Abstract

Aim: Tumor surgery at the skull base is a demanding field due to the complex and delicate anatomical hard and soft tissue structures in this region. The tumorous structure is mostly difficult to reach and the possibility of complete tumor resection is often only limited. The precise planning of the operative interventions and the following treatment, also a better prediction of the surgical results are aims of an advanced tumor treatment. The post-operative outcome with optimal quality of life (aiming for complete tumor resection) is even more difficult. In this article, a work-flow and new diagnostic methods are introduced.
