Endoscopic Endonasal Trans-sphenoidal Approach: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Pituitary Adenomas
Published on: January 17, 2018
[Main principles of functional intranasal surgery of paranasal sinuses]
Abstract:
The analysis of complications consequent to 200 endoscopic intranasal operations (computed tomography was performed preoperatively in 96 and was not performed in 104 patients) has shown that the incidence of serious complications in both groups was minimal and that of such complications as eyelid hematoma, neuralgia and hemorrhage was similar. Complication-safe operative procedure is described. It is believed that the absence of computed tomograms should not cause the change of functional intranasal surgery for radical surgery by external approach or common polypectomy.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
