what it was originally designed for, and many skull-base lesions, which

This has been possible not only with improved surgical techniques, but
also with ancillary aids such as the image guidance, powered
instruments, and different techniques which have evolved to repair large
defects that have been created, as also advancement in adhesive and
sealing materials which help these repairs. There are many surgeons in
