Endoscopic transorbital extradural anterior clinoidectomy: A stepwise surgical technique and case series study [SevEN-013].

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anterior clinoidectomy is an important procedure for approaching the central skull base lesions. However, anterior clinoidectomy through the endoscopic transorbital approach (ETOA) still has limitations due to technical difficulties and the structural complexity of the anterior clinoid process (ACP). Therefore, the authors designed a stepwise surgical technique of extradural anterior clinoidectomy through the ETOA. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of this technique.

Methods

Anatomical dissections were performed in 6 cadaveric specimens using a neuroendoscope and neuro-navigation system. The extradural anterior clinoidectomy through the ETOA was performed stepwise, and based on the results, this surgical technique was performed in the 7 cli
