Article Synopsis
- This study compared the outcomes of two surgical techniques, endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) and supraorbital keyhole procedure (SO), for treating meningiomas located at the planum sphenoidale and tuberculum sellae in 20 patients.
- The research found that while both methods had similar rates of tumor removal and visual outcomes, the EEA group experienced longer hospital stays and a higher incidence of CSF leaks compared to the SO group.
- Overall, both techniques resulted in comparable quality of life outcomes, though the SO group had a slightly higher recurrence rate and shorter follow-up period.
Background And Objective: Surgical approaches to the petrous apex region are extremely challenging; while subtemporal approaches and variations represent the milestone of the surgical modules to reach such deep anatomical target, in a constant effort to develop minimally invasive neurosurgical routes, the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) has been tested to get a viable corridor to the petroclival junction. Lately, another ventral endoscopic minimally invasive route, i.e.
