Objective: With the capacity to provide maximal lesion exposure, the subtemporal preauricular infratemporal (SPI) approach with condylar fossa osteotomy is highly utilized in radical resection of skull base tumors. While this approach requires disruption of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) for access, the effects of this maneuver are poorly appreciated in neurosurgery. The aim of this study was to assess the morbidity of condylar fossa osteotomies by comparing oral health quality of life (OHQOL) and general health quality of life (GHQOL) outcomes after TMJ-involving and TMJ-sparing skull base approaches.

The pterygopalatine fossa and infratemporal fossa are often approached through an external incision because of their deep facial location, but this can present problems such as facial scarring and deformity. In schwannoma surgery, intraneural dissection is a useful surgical technique for achieving gross total resection while preserving the capsule, including the nerves. For appropriate enucleation and preservation of the functional nerve, it is indispensable to distinguish between the pseudocapsule and the tumor capsule.

Article Synopsis
  • The study reviews the surgical management of complex skull base tumors at Zhuhai People's Hospital using advanced image fusion technology from October 2019 to January 2022.
  • Seven cases were analyzed, including various types of tumors, where preoperative multimodal image fusion helped in surgical planning and led to successful gross total resection for all but two cases with minor complications.
  • The findings suggest that using multimodal image fusion and tailored imaging assessment enhances surgical outcomes for complex skull base tumors, emphasizing the importance of personalized treatment strategies.
