Survey of Skull Base Surgeons' Approach to Carcinomas Involving the Cavernous Sinus.

ABSTRACT: Objectives  Carcinomas involving the cavernous sinus are challenging to resect without compromising important neurovascular structures. Given the morbidity and mortality of these operations, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy are more often utilized. Although limited to case reports and small series, radical resection of the cavernous sinus has been proposed. We aimed to study surgeons' willingness to perform cavernous sinus exenteration (CSE) under different clinical scenarios. Design, Setting, Participants, Main Outcome Measures  We conducted an online survey from April to July 2021 among members of the Skull Base Congress and the North American Skull Base Society. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the main outcome measure of willingness to perform C
