Article Abstract
Unlabelled: Over the past two decades, improvements in surgical tools, navigation systems, and endoscopic techniques have resulted in the widespread use of keyhole surgery for a wide range of skull base tumors. Currently, the trans-eyebrow supraorbital approach is being increasingly used in surgery for anterior cranial fossa and parasellar tumors.
Material And Methods: The study included 7 patients who underwent surgery for meningioma using the trans-eyebrow supraorbital approach at the Burdenko Neurosurgical Institute in the period between 2013 and 2017. The age of patients ranged from 51 to 75 years (median, 60 years); there were 5 females and 2 males. The maximum diameter of resected tumors ranged from 20 to 60 mm (median 40 mm).
Results: Total resection of the tumor was achieved in all 7 cases, which was confirmed by postoperative MRI control. All 7 patients had a good cosmetic result. In 1 case, there was postoperative cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea due to incomplete closure of the frontal sinus, which required the patient to be re-operated. None of 7 cases was associated with injury to the main vessels or cavernous sinus.
Conclusion: Supraorbital trans-eyebrow craniotomy provides a minimally invasive approach for removing most anterior cranial fossa base and suprasellar tumors. The advantages of keyhole surgery, in comparison with traditional craniotomies, are minimal complications associated with the approach.

A trans-eyebrow zig-zag approach for frontal bone fractures.

Frontal bone fractures are amongst the most common facial fractures and surgical management, which has traditionally involved access via a coronal flap, can result in unsightly scarring, alopecia, paraesthesia, facial nerve weakness and temporal hollowing. Alternative approaches include use of endoscopically-assisted surgery, often through the eyebrow, which minimises the risk of unsightly scarring but may also sacrifice access in the process. In this technical note, we discuss a surgical technique for open reduction and internal fixation of fractures of the bone overlying the frontal sinus and supra-orbital rim, which the authors have not found in the literature, which involves the making of a "zig-zag" incision through the eyebrow in a trichophytic manner which reduces the risk of unsightly scarring whilst simultaneously allowing for sufficient surgical access to the fracture site.

Background: Traditional microsurgical approaches for addressing intraventricular craniopharyngioma provide limited access to the retrochiasmatic area and tumors with significant lateral or rostrocaudal extensions. Extended endoscopic endonasal approaches can effectively overcome many of limitations, yet they require a favorable working angle between the optic chiasm and pituitary gland, as well as the involvement of the third ventricle floor by the tumor.
Methods: Herein, the authors describe the surgical nuances of a keyhole technique for resecting third ventricle craniopharyngiomas via a fully endoscopic minimally invasive trans-eyebrow supraorbital translaminar approach (ESOTLA).

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines keyhole surgery (trans-eyebrow supraorbital aneurysmal neck clipping) for anterior circulation aneurysms, focusing on surgical outcomes and potential complications related to aneurysm location.
- - Results showed that patients with middle cerebral artery aneurysms had longer surgeries but similar complication rates compared to other locations; however, they experienced less olfactory dysfunction.
- - The findings emphasize the importance of informing patients about potential complications and benefits of keyhole surgery, aiding in better decision-making and enhancing patient satisfaction.
Keyhole surgery for giant basal brain tumors. Theoretical explanation with an example of trans-eyebrow subraorbital approach.

Burdenko Neurosurgical Center, Moscow, Russia.
Background: Improvement of modern neurosurgical technology has given rise to keyhole surgery for a wide range of pathologies. Supraorbital trans-eyebrow approach has been described in detail for small tumors of anterior cranial fossa and suprasellar neoplasms. Can we use this small and less traumatic approach for a more complex tumor extending beyond the suprasellar region?
Objective: To analyze own experience of surgical treatment of large and giant parasellar tumors via supraorbital approach, to identify the principles of such operations, indications and possible limitations.

Background: The fully endoscopic supraorbital trans-eyebrow keyhole approach is a technique utilized for the transcranial resection of tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM). Surgery is the first choice for TSM treatment. This study aimed to summarize and analyze the safety, feasibility, limitations, and technical requirements of the fully endoscopic supraorbital trans-eyebrow keyhole approach for TSM resection.
