    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Oncology
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Chordomas are rare, typically benign tumors originating in the nasopharynx.
    • Their skull base location often complicates complete surgical resection, leading to subtotal removal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the transcervical-transmandibular approach for skull base tumor removal.
    • To evaluate the utility of this surgical technique for chordoma resection.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical technique description: transcervical-transmandibular approach.
    • Application of the approach in the context of skull base chordoma removal.

    Main Results:

    • The transcervical-transmandibular approach facilitates access to skull base tumors.
  • This method can be employed for the surgical management of nasopharyngeal chordomas.

    • Conclusions:

    • The transcervical-transmandibular approach is a viable surgical option for skull base chordomas.
    • This technique may improve the extent of tumor removal in challenging locations.
