Endoscopic paramaxillary ligation of the internal maxillary artery.

Endoscopic skull base surgery is increasingly utilized for managing skull base tumors. Complex techniques for resecting multicompartmental lesions can lead to higher intraoperative bleeding rates. While embolization can reduce blood flow, it may not always be feasible and can introduce additional risks.

Pure endoscopic management of a middle fossa Galassi III arachnoid cyst.

Background: Microsurgical and endoscopic approaches are accepted alternatives for the management of symptomatic arachnoid cyst. However, given their ability to visualize critical neurovascular structures with less morbidity, less dissection needs, and high success rates, endoscopic approaches are excellent options for the management of this pathology.

Case Description: We present the case of an otherwise healthy 8-year-old male who presented with a chronic history of disabling headache that augmented with exercise and interrupted his sleep.

Venous anatomy of the lumbar region applied to anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF): Proposal of a new classification.

Background: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is a good alternative for the surgical treatment of lumbar degenerative disc disease. The primary vascular complications regarding this intervention involve the common iliac vein bifurcation complex (CIVC). Currently, no classification system allows defining which patients are more prone to these complications.
