Explanation

EEA in the context of medicine stands for Endoscopic Endonasal Approach. This is a type of surgery where doctors use a special tube with a camera to look inside the body and perform surgery. Instead of making a large cut, they go through the nose and sinuses. This method is often used for brain surgeries because it causes less damage to the surrounding areas.
