Abstract

Malignancies involving the temporal bone are increasingly common and require specialized multi-disciplinary care. Given this complex location, involvement of the lateral skull base and local neurovascular structures is common. In this review we discuss general principles for temporal bone resection, as well as alternative and complementary surgical approaches that should be considered in the management of patients with temporal bone cancer.
