    This study presents a modified fronto-orbito zygomatic approach for skull base surgery. The technique uses a Gigli

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Skull Base Surgery
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • The fronto-orbito zygomatic approach is a standard procedure in modern skull base surgery.
    • Traditional methods often require expensive and specialized equipment like powerful drills and saws.
    • This limits its accessibility in resource-constrained neurosurgical settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a technical modification of the fronto-orbito zygomatic approach.
    • To enable the elevation of the zygoma en bloc with the fronto-orbital bone flap.
    • To reduce reliance on costly technological tools in skull base surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • A modification of the fronto-orbito zygomatic approach is detailed.
    • The technique involves the strategic use of the Gigli's saw.

  • This allows for the elevation of the zygoma and fronto-orbital bone flap as a single unit.

    • Main Results:

    • The modified technique successfully elevates the zygoma en bloc with the fronto-orbital bone flap.
    • Adequate replacement of the craniotomy flap requires only two silk sutures.
    • The technique has been successfully employed in over 20 cases.

    Conclusions:

    • This technical modification offers a viable alternative for the fronto-orbito zygomatic approach.
    • It reduces the need for expensive, high-technology equipment.
    • This advancement enhances the accessibility of this useful surgical approach in diverse neurosurgical environments.
