Orbitozygomatic craniotomy. Technical note.
The orbitozygomatic approach provides wide, multidirectional access to the anterior and middle cranial fossae, as well as to the upper third of the posterior fossa and clivus. The authors describe technical details of the surgical approach as it has evolved over 3.5 years of experience in 83 consecutive cases. This modified technique eliminates the need for bone reconstruction of the orbital wa...
متن کاملA Superior Cerebellar Convexity Two-Part Craniotomy to Access the Paramedian Supra and Infratentorial Space: Technical Note
A craniotomy over the superior cerebellar convexity for approaches to this region typically involves a small infratentorial craniotomy and then drilling down of the bone to expose some portion of the transverse/sigmoid sinuses. The authors describe the anatomy of the region and the method for a two-part paramedian occipital and suboccipital craniotomy (supra and infratentorial) that may have ti...
متن کاملCosmetic Frontotemporal Craniotomy Using an Osteotome: Technical Note
A frontotemporal craniotomy is usually performed using a "keyhole," made at the union of the zygomatic arch and frontal bone. Consequently, skull depression may occur postoperatively, leading to temporal area deformities and poor cosmetic results. To prevent these complications, we describe our technique for frontotemporal craniotomy using an osteotome to prevent cosmetic deformities. After the...
متن کاملThe pterional craniotomy: tips and tricks A craniotomia pterional: dicas e truques
The frontotemporosphenoidal craniotomy, usually denominated pterional craniotomy, was first described by Yasargil in 1975 and is one of the earliest landmarks of the advents of microneurosurgery1-3. This approach enables, specifically, the exposure of the entire frontoparietal operculum4,5, the opening of the entire sylvian fissure6,7 and all anterior cisterns of the encephalon base2,5, which m...
متن کاملNecessity of Surgical Site Closed Suction Drain for Pterional Craniotomy
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the benefit of using a prophylactic surgical site closed suction drain in pterional craniotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on 607 consecutive patients who underwent a pterional craniotomy for treatment of intracranial anterior circulation aneurysms over a 5-year period. Between January 2000 and December 2004, 607 pa...
