Background:
Keyhole surgery has been actively developing in the last two decades. Modern neuroimaging, preoperative individual planning, and innovative neurosurgical equipment allow us to operate through mini craniotomy with minimization of approach-related complications.
Method:
Preoperative planning is very critical. After the patient positioning, skin incision, craniotomy, and dura incision are performed. Intradural lesion is reached with standard microneurosurgical technique. A watertight dura closure is important.
Conclusion:
Transpalpebral approach can be good alternative to traditional, extended fronto-lateral craniotomies with excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes. Adequate selection of patients is important.

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
