Surgical treatment of lesions involving the temporal bone, petrous apex, or internal auditory canal is usually performed using the classical microscopic approach that necessitates wide external incisions and soft tissue dissection. At present, the main application of endoscopic surgery is in the surgical treatment of middle ear cholesteatoma, but with the natural evolution of the technique, there will be an increasing number of applications in lateral skull base surgery.

Abstract

Surgical treatment of lesions involving the temporal bone, petrous apex, or internal auditory canal is usually performed using the classical microscopic approach that necessitates wide external incisions and soft tissue dissection. At present, the main application of endoscopic surgery is in the surgical treatment of middle ear cholesteatoma, but with the natural evolution of the technique, there will be an increasing number of applications in lateral skull base surgery.
