Summary
This study presents a novel transglabellar subfrontal approach for brain tumor removal, preserving the frontal sinus. This technique offers a viable option for specific glioma cases, enhancing surgical outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Surgical Oncology
- Neuroanatomy
Background:
- The transglabellar approach, a transfacial technique, traditionally involves frontal sinus resection for anterior cranial vault access.
- Frontal sinus obliteration is standard to prevent complications, but endoscopic techniques prompt reevaluation.
- Traditional methods are being reconsidered due to advancements in minimally invasive neurosurgery.
