Transorbital endoscopic approaches (TEAs) are emerging as effective techniques for accessing the skull base while minimizing morbidity. This systematic review and anatomical study evaluate TEAs' feasibility and safety by analyzing 42 studies and performing cadaveric dissections. TEAs offer promising access to anterior and middle cranial fossae with reduced invasiveness compared to traditional methods. The study highlights key anatomical landmarks and corridors for successful TEA application. While TEAs demonstrate potential, further clinical studies are needed to assess long-term outcomes, optimize techniques, and compare them with other minimally invasive approaches.
