Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Cranial Surgery

Background:

  • The supraorbital craniotomy is a key neurosurgical approach.
  • Previous iterations may present limitations in size, complexity, or cosmetic results.
  • Specific pathologies require precise surgical access to the anterior cranial base.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified supraorbital craniotomy procedure.
  • To enhance safety, simplicity, and cosmetic outcomes.
  • To provide adequate surgical exposure for challenging lesions.

Main Methods:

  • A modified supraorbital craniotomy technique is described.
  • Emphasis is placed on minimal brain retraction.
  • Surgical exposure of critical anatomical structures is maintained.

Main Results:

  • The modified procedure is smaller and simpler than previous methods.
  • It ensures safety and yields cosmetically pleasing results.
  • Adequate surgical exposure is achieved without significant brain retraction.

Conclusions:

  • The modified supraorbital craniotomy is a safe and effective technique.
  • It offers advantages in terms of size, simplicity, and aesthetics.
  • This approach is suitable for treating lesions medial to the optic nerve and anterior communicating artery aneurysms.
