Text
This presentation highlights the diagnosis and management of patients with complications in lateral skull base surgery. The management of lesions of the lateral skull base is a highly complex part of surgery generally performed by otolaryngologists and neurosurgeons as part of a multi-disciplinary team regarding evaluation, approach and postoperative management. Evaluation of patients with diseases affecting the lateral skull base can be complex, as the treatment may result in various expected and unexpected side effects. A wide variety of pathological conditions may occur in the lateral skull base. Numerous operations and procedures have been described for dealing with them and their complications. There is not necessarily one single right solution to the management of any particular problem in lateral skull base surgery. Multiple factors have to be considered in dealing with its complications. We need to know how our own results and outcomes compare with published data concerning the implications and complications occurring as a result of our intervention. Minor and major complications during lateral skull base surgery and postoperative management are highlighted in this presentation.
