Transfacial approaches offer direct access to midline skull base lesions. Tailoring surgical techniques like transfrontal nasal-orbital and transmaxillary approaches individualizes treatment for complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Skull Base Surgery

Background:

  • Transfacial approaches provide direct access to the midline skull base for complex lesion resection.
  • The transfrontal nasal-orbital and transmaxillary (Levels III and V) approaches are frequently utilized by skull base teams.

Observation:

  • These established approaches, alone or combined, grant access to the anterior skull base and clivus.
  • The selection of alternative levels (I/II instead of III, VI instead of V) enhances treatment individualization.

Findings:

  • The overlapping exposures of these techniques offer surgical flexibility.
  • This flexibility allows consideration of multiple factors, including tumor characteristics like location and size.

Implications:

  • Individualized surgical strategies can be developed based on specific patient and tumor factors.
