ETOS
Endoscopic TransOrbital Society
A way to improve skull base surgery through the advanced application of endoscopic techniques
Mission
ETOS means a way to improve skull base surgery through the advanced application of endoscopic techniques. Our mission harnesses the transformative power of endoscopy, a pivotal tool that has significantly expanded the horizons of surgical possibilities.
"ENDO"
The word 'ENDO' in our domain name is a reflection to our commitment to endoscopic innovations that have redefined surgical approaches, offering detailed visualization and access to deep anatomical structures with minimal invasiveness.
We specialize in employing endoscopic techniques such as endonasal and transorbital surgeries, utilizing strategic hidden incisions to minimize tissue manipulation and neurological impact. Our approach is rooted in the rich history of endoscopy, recognizing the key technological advancements and pioneering figures who have shaped the field of endo-neurosurgery.
"ORBIT"
The term 'ORBIT' underscores our focus on the transorbital approach, complementing endonasal techniques to provide a comprehensive view and access to skull base structures. This represents the cutting edge of minimally invasive surgery, where the orbit serves as a novel gateway to complex and paramedian surgical targets. Indeed, we recognize the orbit as the latest and most novel frontier in minimally invasive surgery.
Endoscopic TransOrbital Society
As a society, ETOS represents a forefront of innovation and minimally invasive surgery for the contemporary era. Our unique specialization in skull base surgery sets us apart, offering a comprehensive 360-degree perspective that is unmatched by any other international society. Our comprehensive strategy fills a critical gap and establishes a new paradigm in surgical excellence, underscoring our role in contributing to neurosurgical perspective.
In essence, ETOS represents what was missing in the surgical community: a dedicated, innovative, and specialized society committed to advancing minimally invasive techniques in skull base surgery, setting new standards of care and pioneering future technical advancements.
