ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Optimal initial exposure through an extended endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) for suprasellar craniopharyngiomas ensures safe and unrestricted surgical access while avoiding overexposure, which may prolong the procedure and increase neurovascular adverse events.METHOD:
Here, the authors outline the surgical nuances of a customized bony and dural opening through the transplanum/transtuberculum and transclival variants of the extended EEA to suprasellar craniopharyngiomas based on the tumor-pituitary stalk relationship. A stepwise cadaveric dissection and intraoperative photographs relevant to the approaches are also provided.CONCLUSION:
Safe maximal resection of suprasellar craniopharyngiomas through extended EEAs can be feasibly and safely achieved by implementing of tailored ventral exposure.Palavras-chave
