Endonasal Approach

The endonasal approach is a surgical technique used to access the brain and surrounding areas through the nasal passages. Instead of making a large external incision, surgeons insert instruments through the nostrils, allowing them to reach areas like the pituitary gland or skull base. This minimally invasive method reduces recovery time, minimizes scarring, and can lead to fewer complications. It’s often used for removing tumors or addressing other issues without the need for more invasive surgery on the skull.
