A multidisciplinary protocol for complex lateral skull base surgery, developed over 20 years, ensures safe and effective resection and reconstruction. This coordinated approach manages diverse pathologies and serves as a reference for specialized centers.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery and Otolaryngology
  • Skull Base Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Complex lateral skull base pathologies require specialized management.
  • A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
  • High-volume tertiary centers play a key role in developing surgical protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a multidisciplinary protocol for lateral skull base pathology resection and reconstruction.
  • To share over two decades of experience from a UK-based tertiary referral center.
  • To provide a structured and reproducible approach for managing complex cases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective descriptive analysis of institutional practice.
  • Outlined a 20-year multidisciplinary protocol involving ENT, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, anesthesia, radiology, oncology, and nursing.

  • Detailed surgical planning, intraoperative decision-making, perioperative care, and rehabilitation.

    • Main Results:

    • The protocol facilitated safe and effective management of diverse lateral skull base lesions.
    • Achieved high rates of complete resection and functional reconstruction with acceptable morbidity.
    • Successfully navigated complex anatomy and tumor extent through coordinated team planning.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective lateral skull base pathology management necessitates a highly coordinated multidisciplinary strategy.
    • The described 20-year protocol offers a structured, reproducible approach.
    • This protocol can serve as a valuable reference for other high-volume skull base surgery centers.
