Endoscopic Denker's approach for resection of lesions involving the anteroinferior maxillary sinus and infratemporal fossa.
INTRODUCTION With continued advances in endoscopic techniques, recent years have witnessed significant innovation in surgical approaches to sinonasal and skull base pathology. A substantial number of open surgeries have been supplanted by endonasal procedures, and the spectrum of applications for such less-invasive methods has expanded considerably to encompass progressively larger, more comple...
متن کاملOutcome of resection of infratemporal fossa tumors.
BACKGROUND A variety of tumors arise in or extend to the infratemporal fossa. We investigated the outcome of surgical management of these tumors. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of a craniofacial approach to resection of infratemporal fossa tumors from 1992 to 2008 in a cancer center. RESULTS Forty-three patients underwent resection of a infratemporal fossa tumors (68% men). Med...
متن کاملThe Subcranial Extended Anterior Approach: for Craniofacial Resection of Carcinoma Involving the Midline Anterior Skull Base
The extended anterior subcranial approach, for craniofacial resection of carcinoma involving anterior midline skull base, involves an osteotomy of the fronto-naso-orbital external skeletal frame, so as to provide optimum anterior access to the orbital and sphenoethmoid planes, the nasal and paranasal cavities. A clear advantage is the avoidance of frontal lobe retraction, leading to early posto...
متن کاملEndoscopic transvestibular paramandibular exploration of the infratemporal fossa and parapharyngeal space: a minimally invasive approach to the middle cranial base.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To describe a novel transvestibular endoscopic approach for the exposure, exploration, and resection of lesions in the infratemporal fossa (ITF) and parapharyngeal space (PPS). STUDY DESIGN Surgical technique and clinical feasibilty of a novel approach to the middle cranial base. METHODS The transvestibular endoscopic approach was applied to four patients with lesions ...
متن کاملEndoscopic Versus Traditional Craniofacial Resection for Patients with Sinonasal Tumors Involving the Anterior Skull Base
OBJECTIVES With the advent of microdebriders and image guidance systems, endoscope-assisted surgery is now more widely used for the treatment of tumors involving the base of the skull. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical features of tumors involving the anterior skull base and to evaluate the treatment outcomes according to the surgical approach, which included the traditional cra...
