Olfactory and sinonasal outcomes in endoscopic transsphenoidal skull-base surgery.
BACKGROUND Endoscopic anterior skull-base surgery has been previously suggested to cause a significant deterioration in olfactory function. Given the impact on quality of life, the objective of this study was to determine the effect of a unilateral middle-turbinate-sacrificing approach on olfactory function and sinonasal outcome. METHODS Prospective cohort study comparing olfactory and sinona...
متن کاملExtended endoscopic endonasal approach to the midline skull base: the evolving role of transsphenoidal surgery.
The evolution of the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal technique, which was initially reserved only for sellar lesions through the sphenoid sinus cavity, has lead in the last decades to a progressive possibility to access the skull base from the nose. This route allows midline access and visibility to the suprasellar, retrosellar and parasellar space while obviating brain retraction, and mak...
متن کاملSupraorbital eyebrow approach to skull base lesions.
We report our experience with a supraorbital eyebrow minicraniotomy. This technique is suitable to lesions situated in the region of the anterior fossa, suprasellar cisterns, parasellar region and Sylvian fissure. A 50 mm incision in the eyebrow and a supraorbital minicraniotomy is performed. Sixteem patients harboring different lesions were operated on with good postoperative and cosmetic resu...
متن کاملHypernasality after using the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach for skull base tumors.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The increasing number of endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approaches (EETSA) has resulted in several sinonasal complications, including voice changes. Here, we compared preoperative and postoperative voice changes according to age. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records. Patients were divided into the following three groups according to age: ≤ 30 yea...
متن کاملEndoscopic unilateral transethmoid‐paraseptal approach to the central skull base
Objectives The endoscopic technique in transnasal skull base surgery offers optimal visualization and free manipulation in the surgical field. However, it may cause approach-related sinonasal injury, influencing patients' quality of life (QOL). To minimize rhinological morbidity without restrictions in surgical manipulation and tumor resection, we introduced the unilateral transethmoidal-parase...
