Does Time to Initiation of Adjuvant Radiotherapy Affect Reconstruction Outcomes After EEA Resection of Skull Base Malignancies?

Introduction and Objective: Time to initiation of adjuvant radiotherapy has been shown to correlate with long-term oncologic outcomes. With the increased role of endoscopic approaches in the management of cranial base malignancies, it is unclear if time to initiation of adjuvant radiotherapy affects reconstruction outcomes and whether it should be considered. In this study we present our experience with adjuvant radiotherapy after endoscopic endonasal procedures, to determine if the timing to radiation impacts the post-RT reconstruction complication rates.
