The transzygomatic approach enhances skull base neurosurgery by improving visualization of critical structures. This technique offers wider exposure for complex pathologies and better access to adjacent anatomical regions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Anatomical Studies

Background:

  • The transzygomatic approach is a neurosurgical technique for skull base access.
  • It is claimed to provide wider exposure and improved visualization of neurovascular structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To photographically demonstrate the transzygomatic approach.
  • To highlight anatomical areas with improved access using this technique.

Main Methods:

  • A morphological cadaver study was conducted.
  • Exposure of specific intracranial structures was compared with and without the zygoma in place.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrates increased exposure of the basilar bifurcation and P2 segment of the posterior cerebral artery.
  • Shows improved access to adjacent anatomical compartments, including the infratemporal fossa, pterygopalatine fossa, and orbit.

Conclusions:

  • The transzygomatic approach is a simple technique that increases skull base exposure.
  • It offers simultaneous access to key anatomical regions relevant to neurosurgery.
