Abstract

This chapter discusses the unique challenges that endoscopic skull base surgery present to the neuroanesthesiologist. The neuroanesthesiology team plays a vital role in ensuring a safe outcome to this delicate surgery. Highly specialized endoscopic techniques and equipment, together with the use of sophisticated intraoperative monitoring, all mandate skillful anesthesia management that is tailored to the needs of minimally invasive, fully endoscopic skull base surgery. The specific neuro- anesthetic considerations for fully endoscopic endonasal, supraorbital, and retrosigmoid approaches as well as future challenges are discussed.
