Surgical morbidity of the extradural anterior petrosal approach: the Lariboisiere experience

Lorenzo Giammattei et al.

Summary: This study reviewed 49 patients who underwent extradural anterior petrosal approach (EAPA) surgery between 2012 and 2021. The study focused on surgical complications and found that complications related to bone resection were correlated with the extent of tumor resection, while complications related to the approach were not correlated with the amount of bone drilling.

Endoscopic transorbital approach to the cavernous sinus: Cadaveric anatomy study and clinical application (‡SevEN-009)

In-Ho Jung et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic transorbital approach (ETOA) in accessing and exploring the cavernous sinus (CS) in skull base tumors. The ETOA provides a unique and valuable surgical route to the CS, especially for the lateral and posterior compartments, and can be used in synergy with other surgical approaches.

Surgical morbidity of the extradural anterior petrosal approach: the Lariboisiere experience

Lorenzo Giammattei et al.

Summary: The study presents a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent EAPA surgery at the institution between 2012 and 2021. The authors collected detailed preoperative and postoperative data to study the complications associated with the surgical approach. They found that approach-related complications were acceptable at dedicated skull base centers and could be reduced with careful examination of preoperative neuroimaging and attention to technical details.

Endoscopic endonasal and transorbital approaches to petrous apex lesions

Won Jae Lee et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the clinical outcomes of patients with lesions involving the petrous apex who underwent endoscopic endonasal approach and transorbital approach surgeries. The authors found that the endoscopic endonasal approach was suitable for lesions in all three zones of the petrous apex, while the transorbital approach was effective for superior portion lesions. Surgical treatment resulted in complete tumor resection and eradication of petrous apex cephalocele, but there were also potential complications.

Anterior transpetrosal approach: experiences in 274 cases over 33 years. Technical variations, operated patients, and approach-related complications

Ryosuke Tomio et al.

Summary: The anterior transpetrosal approach (ATPA) has been used for surgery since 1985, and this study analyzed 274 cases performed from 1984 to 2017. Petroclival meningioma was the most common diagnosis. Modifications to the ATPA, such as zygomatic osteotomy, were used to decrease complications, but brain injury and CSF leak remained unresolved problems. Facial nerve damage decreased after 2010, but CSF leak incidence did not improve.

Transorbital endoscopic approaches to the skull base: a systematic literature review and anatomical description

Alperen Vural et al.

Summary: Transorbital endoscopic approaches are increasingly popular for reaching various areas of the ventral skull base, either alone or in combination with other approaches. This study aims to evaluate the surgical anatomy of these approaches through cadaver dissections and a systematic review, providing objective clinical data on their application and morbidity. The techniques show promise for treating skull base lesions and should be considered an important supplement to the armamentarium of a skull base team based on available literature data.

Endoscopic Transorbital Approaches to Anterior and Middle Cranial Fossa: Exploring the Potentialities of a Modified Lateral Retrocanthal Approach

Salvatore Chibbaro et al.

Summary: The study identified three different surgical corridors to reach the anterior and middle cranial fossa: superomedial, superolateral, and inferolateral, with different volume capacities. The development of TONES approaches has not replaced traditional methods, but combining different surgical corridors represents a significant breakthrough in skull base surgery. Further clinical studies are needed to validate the effectiveness, safety, and reproducibility of these approaches.
