About Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery
Endoscopic skull base surgery removes tumours and other lesions at the base of the skull through the nose, using a camera instead of a facial or scalp incision. It suits growths reachable along this natural route.
A neurosurgeon and an ear, nose and throat surgeon often work together. Thin endoscopes and instruments pass through the nostrils and sinuses, and a small opening is made in the bone at the skull base. The lesion is removed, and the opening is repaired with tissue grafts or a flap to prevent spinal fluid leaking.
Usually a good fit if
- Pituitary or other tumours at the skull base reachable through the nose.
- Cerebrospinal fluid leaks or encephaloceles needing repair.
- Selected meningiomas, craniopharyngiomas, chordomas or clival lesions.
- Patients fit for general anaesthesia.
May need to wait if
- Tumours extending widely beyond what can be safely reached through the nose.
- Active sinus infection or uncorrected clotting problems.
- Severe medical illness that makes anaesthesia unsafe.
- Lesions better treated by radiosurgery or open surgery.
How to prepare
- Bring MRI and CT images on disc, plus any hormone test results if a pituitary or related lesion is involved.
- Review blood thinners and nasal medicines with your doctor, who will instruct any changes.
- Expect blood tests, hormone checks and a vision test if the tumour is near the optic nerves.
- Treat any sinus infection or dental infection first, as advised.
- Tell the team about allergies, and plan to stay for monitoring for spinal fluid leaks.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Is the endoscopic route right for my lesion, and what might need open surgery?
- How many endoscopic skull base operations does your team do each year?
- How will you repair the skull base to prevent spinal fluid leaks?
- What risks apply to my vision and hormones?
- Will I need hormone replacement or radiotherapy afterwards?
- What nose care and follow-up scans do I need at home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Surgery by a single surgeon without a combined skull-base team.
- No image guidance.
- No plan for skull-base reconstruction or leak management.
- No hormone and eye assessment before and after.

Could I get a spinal fluid leak?
This is a recognised risk, so the skull base is reconstructed carefully. Report clear watery drainage promptly.
