²Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, Department of Neuroanesthesiology and Neurocritical Care, Tehran, Iran DOI : 10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.31281-20.2 In the past decade or perhaps a little earlier than that the concept of teamwork evolved among the circles of surgeons especially among those involved in complicated and time consuming surgeries. Skull base surgeries were one of those surgeries where the role of teamwork was acutely felt owing to innumerable specialties involved in the consummation of such surgeries. Although teamwork in this specialty is the need of the hour but, achieving the spirit of teamwork is not that easy and perhaps a challenging task. This manuscript tackles the much needed demand of teamwork in this arena of surgery and unveils whether such a teamwork is achievable or is just an utopian dream.
