AB  - Although  in  widespread  use,  the  term  “skull  base  surgery”  is  somewhat  of  a  misnomer.  Only  a  minority  of  such  procedures  are  undertaken  to  expose  lesions  actually  located  primarily  within  the  skull  base.  Most  procedures  are  conducted  to  expose  deep-seated  intracranial  lesions  situated  either  adjacent  to  the  brainstem  (eg,  midbrain,  pons,  or  medulla)  or  beneath  the  cerebral  cortex.  Previously,  many  such  tumors  were  approached  via  simple  openings  in  the  calvaria,  which  require  vigorous  and  often  injurious  degrees  of  brain  retraction.
