The evolution of the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal technique, which was initially
reserved only for sellar lesions through the sphenoid sinus cavity, has lead in the last …

OBJECTIVE: Reconstruction of the cranial base using vascularized tissue promotes rapid
and complete healing, thus avoiding complications caused by persistent communication …

OBJECTIVE: A graded approach to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak repair after
transsphenoidal surgery is presented. METHODS: Patients undergoing endonasal tumor …

OBJECTIVE: The endonasal route may be feasible for the resection of anterior cranial base
tumors that abut the paranasal sinuses. There are several case reports and mixed case …

Object The midline skull base is an anatomical area that extends from the anterior limit of the
cranial fossa down to the anterior border of the foramen magnum. Resection of lesions …

Object The extended transsphenoidal approach is a less invasive method for removing
purely suprasellar lesions compared with traditional transcranial approaches. Most …

Object Following the introduction of the neurosurgical microscope, the outcomes in
suprasellar meningioma surgery were dramatically improved. More recently, the …

OBJECTIVE The transsphenoidal approach has been extended in recent years from tumors
