title: Contemporary considerations in cranial-base surgery.
abstract: The development of new surgical and medical management techniques in skull-base surgery allows for improved patient care. The operative complexities encountered in these procedures necessitate a team-based approach to address total care of the surgical patient. A review of contemporary considerations in management of the patient undergoing skull-base surgery reveals the need for pre- and postoperative planning of surgical and medical management.
