The transbasal approach provides extradural access to the anterior midline skull base for treating various conditions. This review clarifies modifications and proposes a new classification for consistent terminology in skull base surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Skull Base Surgery
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • The transbasal approach is a transcranial method for anterior midline skull base exposure.
  • It is utilized for treating conditions like trauma, craniofacial deformities, and tumors.
  • Modifications exist to improve basal access, but a unified understanding is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and compare principal differences among transbasal approach modifications.
  • To introduce a novel classification scheme for these surgical approaches.
  • To establish a uniform nomenclature for discussing transbasal techniques, indications, and related issues in skull base surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of transbasal approach modifications.
  • Comparative analysis of surgical techniques and outcomes.

  • Development and presentation of a new classification system.

    • Main Results:

    • Identification of key differences in extradural anterior midline skull base exposure among various transbasal modifications.
    • Proposal of a new classification scheme categorizing these modifications.
    • Establishment of a framework for standardized discussion.

    Conclusions:

    • A clear understanding and uniform nomenclature are crucial for discussing and advancing transbasal skull base surgery.
    • The proposed classification facilitates communication regarding indications and technical nuances.
    • Standardization aids in comparing different transbasal techniques and optimizing patient care.
