title: [The recent news in endoscopic surgery: a review of the literature and meta-analysis].
abstract: During a few recent years, endonasal surgery has become the principal tool for the operative treatment of many pathologies affecting the base of the skull. The present work was designed to estimate the possibilities of using endoscopic endonasal surgery to treat sinus and skull base lesions and illustrate the recent progress in the development of endoscopic equipment and instrumentation. The meta-analysis of the results of on-going research on the application of the endonasal endoscopic technology is described with the special emphasis on the plastic treatment of liquor fistulas, removal of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas, treatment of pathological changes in the clivial region and odontoid cervicomedullary junction.
