Description
Kenan Arnautovic and Nebojsa Lasica review surgery for a hard skull-base tumor in this 2025 paper. The tumor grows near the optic nerve and key blood vessels, and often costs sight in one eye. Removing a small bone shelf nearby can free the nerve early in the operation.
The authors gathered studies covering nine hundred eight patients. Some surgeons removed the bone shelf in every case, while others planned it only for selected cases. The always-remove group had more new nerve and vessel harm, with no clear gain in sight or tumor removal. The authors still back the step in skilled hands. They lay out a staged, step-by-step plan meant to cut its risks.
