Prevention and management of complications after radiotherapy for skull base tumors: a multidisciplinary approach.
Authors: Jang JW, Chan AW
Abstract
Radiotherapy is an important treatment approach for a variety of benign and malignant skull base tumors. For patients with malignant skull base tumors, radiation therapy is usually given with surgery and chemotherapy. While patient- and tumor-specific factors can affect the risk of radiation-related complications, surgery and chemotherapy also play a large causal role. As surgery and chemotherapy can lower the radiation dose tolerance of the normal tissues in the skull base, a multidisciplinary team approach is necessary in the initial treatment decision-making process. R...

Novel techniques and the future of skull base reconstruction.
Authors: Meier JC, Bleier BS
Abstract
The field of endoscopic skull base surgery has evolved considerably in recent years fueled largely by advances in both imaging and instrumentation. While the indications for these approaches continue to be extended, the ability to reconstruct the resultant defects has emerged as a rate-limiting obstacle. Postoperative failures with current multilayer grafting techniques remain significant and may increase as the indications for endoscopic resections continue to expand. Laser tissue welding represents a novel method of wound repair in which laser energy is applied to a ...
