Endoscopic transnasal approach to the clivus: a radiographic anatomical study.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Operative intervention of anterior skull base lesions is challenging. Various endoscopic surgical approaches have been described. The goal of the present study is to perform a radiographic analysis of the endoscopic transnasal approach to the clivus. STUDY DESIGN Anatomic study utilizing computed tomography (CT). METHODS High-resolution surgical-guidance CT images of t...

Anatomical analysis of transoral surgical approaches to the clivus.

OBJECT The authors conducted a cadaveric anatomical study to quantify and compare the area of surgical exposure and the freedom available for instrument manipulation provided by the following four surgical approaches to the extracranial periclival region: simple transoral (STO), transoral with a palate split (TOPS), Le Fort I osteotomy (LFO), and median labioglossomandibulotomy (MLM). METHODS...
