Purpose: The petroclival region represents the "Achille's heel" for the neurosurgeons. Many ventral endoscopic routes to this region, mainly performed as isolated, have been described. The aim of the present study is to verify the feasibility of a modular, combined, multiportal approach to the petroclival region to overcome the limits of a single approach, in terms of exposure and working areas, brain retraction and manipulation of neurovascular structures.
