Endoscopic access to the infratemporal fossa and skull base: a cadaveric study.
OBJECTIVES To demonstrate that the regions of the infratemporal fossa and skull base at the level of the foramen ovale can be visualized endoscopically and that structures can be manipulated within these regions using endoscopic instruments. METHODS Cadaveric dissection of 3 human cadavers using an endoscopic optical dissector. In all, 6 endoscopic infratemporal fossa and skull base approache...
متن کاملInfratemporal fossa approach to tumours of the temporal bone and base of the skull.
In spite of the development of a superior (middle cranial fossa) and posterior (translabyrinthine) approach to the temporal bone, tumours situated in the infralabyrinthine and apical compartments of the pyramid and surrounding base of the skull were still a challenge for neurosurgeons and otologists as well. The infratemporal fossa approach closes the existing gap in the surgical management of ...

treatment of skull base disorders and is routinely used in some centers for the treatment of neoplastic and non-neoplastic cranial base pathology. The group of minimally invasive endoscopic techniques used to approach the cranial base are also known as expanded endoscopic approaches (EEA), which are classified in a modular fashion under two main categories: sagittal (or cranio-caudal) and coron...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of endoscopic endonasal approaches to the infratemporal fossa.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The operative management of infratemporal skull base lesions is challenging. Expanded endonasal approaches to this area can decrease surgical morbidity. Access lateral to the natural nasal corridor can be achieved via a middle meatal antrostomy, medial maxillectomy complemented by a septotomy, or anteromedial maxillotomy (i.e., Denker's approach). We sought to compare the ...
متن کاملEvaluating endoscopic and endoscopic-assisted access to the infratemporal fossa: a novel method for assessment and comparison of approaches.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Endoscopic infratemporal fossa (ITF) surgery is a growing clinical interest. This study presents a method of analyzing approach access and visualization, identifies relevant anatomy in an endoscopic approach to the ITF, and compares endoscopic medial maxillectomy (MMA) and endoscopic-assisted sublabial transmaxillary (SLT) approaches to the ITF as a model for this paradigm...
