“…Detailed descriptions of the skull base are especially important for areas with complex anatomy and multiple available approaches. The anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossa can be accessed from the front of the skull near the eye (transorbital), from the sides of the skull base (transpterygoid), from the back of the skull base (transcondylar), via the region near the pituitary gland (parasellar), and near where the spinal cord exits the cranium (clival and petroclival) [ 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 ]. Knowledge of neuroanatomy continues to grow with the development of expanded endoscopic approaches that encompass greater areas of the skull base [ 70 ].…”

Skull base surgery has undergone significant progress following key technological developments. From early candle-lit devices to the modern endoscope, refinements in visualization techniques have made endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) a standard practice for treating a variety of conditions. The endoscope has also been integrated with other technologies to enhance visualization, including fluorescence agents, intraoperative neuronavigation with augmented reality, and the exoscope. Endoscopic approaches have allowed neurosurgeons to reevaluate skull base neuroanatomy from new perspectives. These advances now serve as the foundation for future developments in ESBS. In this narrative review, we discuss the history and development of ESBS, current visualization techniques, and future innovations.
