| description | Introduction
Skull base surgery, although recognised as an interdisciplinary specialty involving both Neurosurgery and Otolaryngology in the West, has been the domain of the Neurosurgeon in West Bengal. Several superspecialty healthcare facilities in the state are now actively promoting endoscopic skull base surgery.
Structured training
The Pittsburgh group has published a systematic training programme for skull base surgery.
Paradigm shift
Following the work of several groups, most notably the Pittsburgh group in the USA, a paradigm shift from open to endoscopic anterior skull base surgery has occurred.
Learning curve
This paper discusses how the ENT surgeon may negotiate the learning curve in endoscopic skull base surgery in the context of the local resources available. |
