Endoscopic orbital procedures are at the forefront of today''s multidisciplinary patient care and team approach to problem-solving. Endoscopic Surgery of the Orbit offers state-of-the-art, expert guidance on minimally invasive orbit techniques that promise a more streamlined approach to comprehensive patient care, improved patient satisfaction, and superior outcomes. This unique resource reflects the contemporary, unparalleled partnership between otolaryngology, neurosurgery, and ophthalmology that often also includes a cohesive team of clinicians from many other specialties. Provides expert perspectives from thought leaders in various specialties, including otolaryngologists, ophthalmologists, neurosurgeons, endocrinologists, medical and radiation oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists. Details the two-surgeon, multi-handed surgical techniques that have revolutionized the management of complex pathologies involving the orbit and skull base. Covers the full breadth of endoscopic orbital procedures-from advanced intraconal tumor removal and intracranial techniques involving the optic nerve and optic chiasm to more routine endoscopic procedures such as orbital decompressions, E-DCR, fracture repair, and subperiosteal abscess drainage. Reviews key topics such as neuromonitoring in orbital and skull base surgery, endoscopic surgery of the intraconal space for tumor resection, Transorbital NeuroEnodscopic Surgery (TONES), and reconstruction of the orbit. Includes tips and pearls on safe and effective procedures as well as novel approaches and innovations in the equipment used to perform these popular procedures.

Endoscopic sinus surgery has become one of the most commonly performed operations in otolaryngology, with over 400,000 cases performed annually. This title appraises the technological developments in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery, and also examines the updates to instrumentation.

This issue on endoscopic cranial base and pituitary surgery is led by experts in the field of Otolaryngology and Neurosurgery. Otolaryngologists/Head and Neck surgeons Dr. Raj Sindwani and Dr. Troy Woodard join with Neurosurgeon Dr. Pablo Recinos to present a comprehensive clinical approach. Topics include: Building an endoscopic skull base program (room setup and key equipment / IGS); Skull Base Anatomy (corridors, intra and extradural); Imaging in skull base surgery - CT, MRI, CT cisternogram, intraop CT; Sellar lesions / pathology; Principles of endoscopic pituitary surgery ; Reconstruction of skull base defects - free graft, pedicle, TPF, alloderm; Lumbar drain utility (role of intrathecal fluorescein); Hemostasis in Skull Base Surgery (control of smaller vessels, maneuvers to minimize bleeding - warm irrigations, HOB up, embolization); Management of ICA Injury (intraop options, late complications); Meningioma; Esthesioneuroblastoma; Cordoma; Sinonasal Malignancies of Skull Base; Craniopharyngioma; Endonasal approaches to the craniocervical junction; Medical complications of Pituitary/skull base surgery - (ie. SIADH, DI, Hypopit); Post-op management of skull base patient (postop Abx, imaging, debridements, topical irrigations, more...). Articles cover surgical procedure, surgical complications, and surgical anatomy as relevant to the clinical discussion.
