Abstract
The results of this study confirm the value, efficacy, and safety of transnasal
endoscopic Sino-orbital surgery. The technique can achieve favorable removal and
remission rates with very low morbidity. Endonasal Endoscopic sino-orbital surgery
is a minimal invasive alternative to traditional transconjunctival, external
frontoethmoidectomy, or lateral rhinotomy approaches to the orbital and sino-orbital
lesions. The technique’s minimally invasive nature makes it very attractive for
selected patients, as it has the potential to minimize the morbidity associated with
other extensive approaches. Long-term control data and prospective analysis of
surgical series are required to strengthen these conclusions and to extend the approach
to totally remove orbital and sino-orbital lesions. The endoscopic endonasal approach
for orbital and sino-orbital lesions is a minimally invasive surgery which offers a
panoramic view of the orbital contents with increased illumination and
magnifications. Such visualization provides a potential for more complete tumor
removal with preservation of eye function and very low rate of complication. Finally
we still need time to increase our skills and experience to master this approach and to
improve our results. We feel that the advantages of the endoscopic approach will
make this technique the favored approach for future treatment of skull base tumors.
