RESUMO

The angle of exposure (AnE) represents a metric that is particularly useful for analyzing circular bony structures during skull base dissections. The authors aimed to develop and validate a neuronavigation-based method to measure the AnE. A formula based on vectorial geometry and the coordinates of three points collected with a neuronavigation system was developed to measure the AnE. The method was validated using a plexiglass phantom head. To demonstrate its applicability, the authors measured the AnE in 6 cadaveric specimens after exposure of the hypoglossal canal using a far-medial approach (FMA) and a far-lateral transtubercular approach (FLTA) and in 6 different specimens after exposure of the jugular foramen using an FLTA and a retrosigmoid approach (RSA). The mean angles measured at 45°, 90°, and 180° using a goniometer during the validation test were 44.8° ± 1.1°, 90.8° ± 1.2°, and 179.7° ± 0.8° using the novel formula (p > 0.05). In the first illustrative application, the mean AnEs for the FMA and FLTA were 129° ± 0.9° and 243° ± 1.9°, respectively. In the second scenario, the mean AnEs were 192° ± 1.3° for the FTLA and 143° ± 2.1° for the RSA. The neuronavigation-based technique described is a highly accurate method to measure the AnE.

RESUMO

Skull base malignancies arising from the parotid gland, skin, or external auditory canal (EAC) can potentially involve the temporal bone. Management of these invasive tumors represents a true challenge considering the critical neurovascular relationships. Exoscope-assisted temporal bone resection (TBR) plays a crucial role in addressing such malignancies. The extent of disease is evaluated using the Pittsburgh staging system, which then guides the boundaries of resection. Lateral TBR (LTBR) relies on removal of the EAC and lateral ossicles and is generally appropriate for stage T1 and T2 tumors. Total TBR (TTBR) is reserved for high-grade tumors involving the petrous apex. The video can be found here: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2023.10.FOCVID23135.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: In this radioanatomical study with clinical correlate, we study a variation of the 'extended nasal floor mucosa' (ENFM) free-graft, the purely nasal floor mucosa (PuNFM) free-graft. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the coverage surface area provided by the PuNFM, study the adequacy of the PuNFM in the reconstruction of endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) transsellar postoperative defects and compare and evaluate this reconstructive technique with current sellar region reconstruction practices. METHODS: Dissections were performed on five cadaveric specimens. PuNFM were harvested bilaterally and the area provided for reconstruction was calculated. Twenty-five consecutive cases of pituitary adenomas resected through an EEA were analyzed to estimate the sellar defect surface area (SDSA) after a transsellar EEA and calculate the area of PuNFM bilaterally. RESULTS: The median cadaveric SDSA was 4.77 cm2, with a median left and right side PuNFM area of 5.09 and 5.19 cm2, respectively. Clinically, the median SDSA was 5.36 cm2, and the total radiological PuNFM surface area was 5.46 cm2, with modified Knosp grade >2 tumors having larger SDSA than that of Knosp grade <2 tumors. The PuNFM graft proved to be most effective for covering modified Knosp <2 tumor defects. CONCLUSIONS: The PuNFM represents a variation of the ENFM free-graft sellar defect reconstruction technique that provides sufficient surface area to reconstruct the majority of the sellar defects related to transsellar EAA for pituitary adenomas. This technique may positively impact sinonasal function and quality of life. Future prospective clinical studies are needed to verify these findings.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The ultrasonic aspirator micro claw tool (UAmCT) can be used to remove the bone of the internal auditory canal (IAC) during vestibular schwannoma resection via the retrosigmoid approach (RSA) without the risk of a spinning drill shaft. However, the thermal profile of the UAmCT during IAC removal has not been reported. OBJECTIVE: To compare the thermal profile of the UAmCT during access of the IAC to that of a conventional high-speed drill (HSD) and to present an illustrative case of this application. METHODS: IAC opening via RSA was performed in 5 embalmed cadaveric specimens using the UAmCT with 3, 8, and 15 mL/min irrigation on the left and the HSD at 75 000 revolutions per minute and 0%, 14%, and 22% irrigation on the right. Peak bone surface temperatures were measured 4 times in 20-second intervals, and statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software. An illustrative case of a vestibular schwannoma resected via an RSA using the UAmCT to access the IAC is presented. RESULTS: The IAC was opened in all 5 specimens using both the UAmCT and HSD without complication. The mean peak bone surface temperatures were significantly lower with the UAmCT compared with the HSD ( P < .001). The UAmCT did not meaningfully prolong the operating time in the illustrative case, and the IAC was accessed without complication. CONCLUSION: The UAmCT may be a safe and effective alternative to HSD for IAC opening during vestibular schwannoma resection via the RSA. Larger studies under clinical conditions are required to further validate these findings.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The radial forearm free flap (RFFF) is an indispensable tool for the reconstruction of a range of defects, including those of the skull base. Several options for routing of the RFFF pedicle have been described, and the parapharyngeal corridor (PC) has been proposed as an option and employed for a nasopharyngeal defect. However, there are no reports of its use for the reconstruction of anterior skull base defects. The objective of this study is to describe the technique for free tissue reconstruction of anterior skull base defects using the RFFF and routing of the pedicle via the PC. METHODS: Relevant neurovascular landmarks and critical surgical steps for reconstruction of anterior skull base defects with an RFFF and routing of the pedicle via the PC are reported using an illustrative clinical case and cadaveric dissections. RESULTS: We present a case of a 70-year-old man who underwent endoscopic transcribriform resection of cT4N0 sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma and was left with a large anterior skull base defect that persisted despite several repair attempts. An RFFF was utilized to repair the defect. This report is the first description of the clinical use of the PC for free tissue repair of an anterior skull base defect. CONCLUSIONS: The PC is an option for routing the pedicle during the reconstruction of anterior skull base defects. When the corridor is prepared as described in this case, a direct route exists from the anterior skull base to cervical vessels, simultaneously maximizing the reach of the pedicle and minimizing the risk of kinking.

RESUMO

Different materials and techniques have been proposed for surgical repair of spontaneous middle cranial fossa (MCF) defects. However, conclusive evidence supporting their selection and impact on clinical outcomes is lacking. The study aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on materials and techniques employed to repair MCF defects and evaluate complications and rates of recurrent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. A PRISMA-guided systematic review and meta-analysis were performed using MESH terms and specific keywords including studies published before May 2022. Primary outcomes included recurrence of CSF leak and complication rates by type of reconstructive material and technique utilized. Meta-analyses of proportions were performed using random effects and confidence intervals for individual proportions were calculated using the Clopper-Pearson method. Twenty-nine studies were included (n = 471 cases). Materials employed for repair were categorized according to defect size: 65% of defects were of unknown size, 24% were small (< 1 cm), and 11% were large (≥ 1 cm). Rigid reconstruction (RR) was significantly favored over soft reconstruction (SR) for larger defects (94% of cases, p < 0.05). Complications and recurrent CSF leak rates of SR and RR techniques were comparable for defects of all sizes (p > 0.05). Complication rates reported for these procedures are low regardless of technique and material. RR was universally preferred for larger defects and analysis of complication and recurrence rates did not reveal differences regardless of defect size. While RR was more frequently reported in smaller defects, SR was used by several centers, particularly for smaller MCF floor defects.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Internal carotid artery injury (ICAI) represents one of the most challenging complications in endoscopic endonasal neurosurgery and its rarity results in limited opportunities for trainees and surgeons to achieve proficiency in its management. Currently, available models for ICAI have employed costly systems that prevent their widespread use. The objective of this study is to validate an affordable submersible peristaltic pump (SPP)-based model as a reproducible and realistic paradigm for ICAI management training. METHODS: A laceration of the left parasellar internal carotid artery was purposely carried out in 2 human cadaveric heads. A blood substitute was perfused to ensure a perfusion flow of 1 L/min using an affordable SPP. A cohort of 20 neurosurgery and otolaryngology residents, fellows, and attendings were enrolled to evaluate the realism and content validity of the model using a validated 5-grade questionnaire. RESULTS: The model proved to mimic a real intraoperative scenario of ICAI with an expected output flow of 1 L/min. Questionnaire responses reported a realistic experience and the impact of this model on improving trainee surgical coordination and capability to rehearse the most accepted repair technique. The use of a fixed noninjected head allowed the reproducibility of the training session without the additional cost of new fresh-frozen heads. The affordable SPP allowed an impactful reduction of ICAI model training expenses maintaining high realism. CONCLUSIONS: The SPP-based ICAI model with noninjected cadaveric specimens is an affordable and cost-effective system that allows reproducibility and realism. These qualities favor greater adoption in neurosurgery and otolaryngology training curricula.

RESUMO

The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) has proven to be a valuable tool to access the petrous apex (PA).1 Although lesions located medial to the PA can be easily accessed through an EEA with minimal risk to the internal carotid artery (ICA), more laterally seated lesions represent a surgical challenge. The contralateral transmaxillary approach is an effective extension of the normal EEA to the PA, allowing a more lateral trajectory and thereby reducing the risks connected to paraclival ICA manipulation.2-4 This is a 47-year-old female presenting with tinnitus, hearing loss, and right facial twitching. The preoperative audiogram showed a 60 dB sensorineural hearing loss, and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an expansive lesion of the PA with high signal intensity in T1- and T2-weighted sequences. A high-riding jugular bulb ruled out the use of an infracochlear infralabyrinthine approach, and a middle cranial fossa approach was felt to render a high risk of recurrence due to the potential for incomplete resection. Ultimately, a contralateral transmaxillary approach was selected. Due to the extreme lateral position of the lesion, the maxillotomy was created in the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus to allow a coaxial approach to the PA. Postoperatively, the patient did not report new neurologic deficits. Anatomic pathology was consistent with cholesterol granuloma (Video 1). In the surgical management of PA granulomas, recognizing relevant anatomic structures such as the paraclival ICA, cochlea, jugular bulb, and vestibule preoperatively is of paramount importance to tailor the surgical approach and reduce its risks.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Recent studies highlighted how exoscopes may be employed to approach the lateral skull base. The use of exoscope-assisted procedures to repair middle cranial fossa (MCF) defects has not been fully explored. The surgical microscope in the same circumstances has been associated with relevant limitations, such as its physical obstruction, among others. The aim of this study was to present a proof of concept of exoscope-assisted surgery for MCF defects. METHODS: A detailed step-by-step MCF approach was performed on 2 alcohol-preserved, latex-injected cadaveric specimens under exoscopic magnification. An illustrative clinical case of encephalocele secondary to a spontaneous tegmen tympani defect repaired via an exoscope-assisted MCF approach was presented. RESULTS: The most common sites of MCF defects, the tegmen tympani and the arcuate eminence, were successfully exposed under exoscopic magnification. Dissection was easily performed; no damage to the dura mater or to vascular or neural structures occurred. In the clinical case, the exoscope-assisted technique demonstrated adequate maneuverability and magnification quality. After localization, the encephalocele was resected, and the MCF defect was repaired. The surgeon's position was comfortable, and operative time was not prolonged. CONCLUSIONS: The exoscope allows adequate exposure of the MCF floor with identification and preservation of key anatomical structures. The exoscope represents a valuable alternative to the microscope in reconstruction of MCF defects, offering high-quality magnification and proven maneuverability.

RESUMO

Objectives The three-dimensional (3D) exoscope has several advantages over the operative microscope (OM) but has not been extensively reported for its use in malignant temporal bone resections (TBR). We sought to demonstrate the feasibility of performing TBR, both lateral (LTBR) and subtotal (STBR), using the 3D exoscope for head and neck cancers. Design present study is a retrospective chart review from August 2016 until August 2019. Setting The study was conducted at a tertiary care center. Participants Patients were undergoing TBR with the Karl Storz VITOM 3D exoscope. Main Outcome Measures Demographics, tumor and surgical characteristics, patient outcomes were the primary measurements of this study. Results Fifty-five patients underwent 3D exoscopic TBR from 2016 through 2019 of which 18% ( n = 10) underwent STBR. The 3D exoscope was used uninterruptedly in all procedures with no intraoperative complications. Most tumors were primarily T3 (42%, n = 23) or T4 (55%, n = 30) and of cutaneous (62%, n = 34) and parotid (27%, n = 15) origin. These TBR were often accompanied by infratemporal fossa resections (87%, n = 48), auriculectomies (47%, n = 26), mandibulectomies (53%, n = 29), and parotidectomies (96%, n = 53). On final pathology, 24% ( n = 13) had microscopically positive margins. Over the study period, 20% ( n = 11) of patients had recurrences with a median recurrence time of 5 months (range: 2-30 months). Conclusion In the largest case series of LTBR and STBR under exclusive 3D exoscopic visualization to date, we demonstrate the 3D exoscope is a feasible alternative to the operative microscope for LTBR and STBR. While oncologic outcomes remain to be clarified, it carries significant potential for use in complex oncologic procedures.

RESUMO

Background: Tuberculum sellae meningiomas represent approximately 5-10% of intracranial meningiomas.[2] Although benign, they are associated with substantial morbidity, especially visual disturbance. At present, there are three main treatment options for patients with tuberculum sellae meningiomas: observational, with serial imaging follow; microsurgical resection; and stereotactic radiosurgery. The advantages of the supraorbital eyebrow craniotomy are the direct visualization of the anterior cranial fossa, anterior circulation, and the optical apparatus, reducing the extent of brain retraction, and the absence of risks of temporalis muscle hypotrophy and posterior chewing discomfort. Conversely, minor drawbacks are a steeper learning curve related to a narrower surgical corridor than a standard frontotemporal approach and the minimal risk of supraorbital nerve injury.[1,3]. Case Description: The authors report the case of a 42-year-old female who presented with acute-onset vision loss and only finger counting in her left eye associated with headache. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a suprasellar extra-axial T1 enhancing mass with encasement of the left optic nerve and paraclinoid internal carotid artery and mass effect on the optic chiasm. A keyhole supraorbital eyebrow approach assisted with a microinspection tool was performed for tumor resection and optic nerve decompression. A Simpson Grade 2 tumor resection was achieved, and histopathology revealed a WHO Grade-I tuberculum sellae meningioma. The patient's presentation, rationale, key surgical steps, and outcome are discussed, and informed consent for surgery and video recording was obtained. Conclusion: This surgical video illustrates the use of a keyhole supraorbital eyebrow approach assisted with a microinspection endoscopic tool for the resection of a tuberculum sellae meningioma. The tumor size, extension, and preoperative clinical status determine the optimal surgical corridor in tuberculum sellae meningioma. The keyhole supraorbital eyebrow approach allows safe and direct access to anterior cranial fossa lesions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Meniere disease (MD) is an idiopathic peripheral pathology involving the acoustic apparatus. One of the most critical challenges in managing MD is intractable vertigo. In this context, retrosigmoid vestibular neurectomy has been described as a safe and effective technique to manage this symptom when it is resistant to first- and second-line treatments. This article analyzed the alternative treatment options, specific surgical anatomy, and relevant details of vestibular neurectomies performed for intractable MD. METHODS: Relevant neurovascular landmarks, critical surgical steps, adequate indications, and potential pitfalls of retrosigmoid vestibular neurectomy were analyzed based on an illustrative clinical case of intractable MD. RESULTS: The illustrative case demonstrated how early recognition of the facial nerve and the vestibulocochlear plane is fundamental to performing retrosigmoid vestibular neurectomy. This procedure is indicated in cases of resistant MD with preoperative hearing integrity. Potential pitfalls of this technique are incomplete neurotomy, nerve regeneration, comorbidities in the contralateral ear, adverse anatomy, the possibility of nonotologic vertigo, and incomplete vestibular compensation. CONCLUSIONS: Vestibular neurectomy represents a safe and effective technique to manage MD that is resistant to medical treatment, allowing symptom control and hearing preservation. Nevertheless, detailed knowledge of surgical anatomy and possible pitfalls is of paramount importance to achieve a good outcome.

RESUMO

We present the case of a 23-year-old female with a history of progressive hearing loss in the left ear, dizziness, and vertigo. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a left mass extending from the internal auditory canal into the cerebellopontine angle (Koos-4).1 A retrosigmoid approach assisted with a microinspection tool was chosen.2-5 Microsurgical near total resection was achieved. The patient presented a postoperative facial deficit (House-Brackman grade 2 postoperative), with complete resolution after 2 months. Video 1 highlights the critical steps of the retrosigmoid approach and the benefit of using the microinspection tool for vestibular schwannoma resection.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To delineate the steps of exoscopic en bloc carotid artery-sparing total temporal bone resection for malignancies involving the temporal bone in a cadaveric model. METHODS: Dissections were performed on 3 right-sided (3 sides) formalin-fixed, latex-injected cadaveric specimens. An exoscopic en bloc carotid artery-sparing total temporal bone resection was performed on each cadaver. In the past 4 years, 8 patients have undergone exoscope-assisted internal carotid artery-sparing total temporal bone resection with the technique described in this report. As an example, we present a representative case of a patient in whom this technique was used. RESULTS: Exoscope-assisted en bloc total temporal bone resections were performed on 3 right-sided cadaveric specimens. The following steps were described to circumferentially expose the petrous temporal bone: infratemporal fossa exposure, temporal craniotomy for subtemporal middle fossa approach to the petrous bone, retrosigmoid craniotomy, and transjugular approach. Finally, 3 skull base osteotomies were performed to liberate anterior, medial, posterior attachments of the petrous bone for en bloc removal. Possible extensions of these dissections as indicated by tumor pathology were described. A case illustration and operative video utilizing these techniques is presented. CONCLUSIONS: Exoscope-assisted en bloc carotid artery-sparing total temporal bone resection is a feasible technique for management of malignancies with temporal bone invasion.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to describe and evaluate the feasibility, mobility, and surface area provided by the simple and extended transorbital pericranial flap (TOPF). Furthermore, we compared this novel technique with the current practice of pericranial flap harvesting and insetting techniques. We also studied the adequacy of the TOPF in the reconstruction of postoperative anterior cranial fossa (ACF) defects. METHODS: The TOPF was performed bilaterally in 5 alcohol-preserved, latex-injected human cadaveric specimens. The TOPF was harvested in 2 stages: the orbitonasal stage and the cranial stage. For the orbitonasal stage, a transorbital superior eyelid approach was used. We have described 2 harvesting techniques for creating 2 distinct TOPF types (simple and extended) according to the main vascular pedicle. The superficial flap areas offered by the simple and extended TOPF and the traditional bicoronal pericranial flap were calculated and compared. The distances from the supratrochlear and supraorbital arteries to specified anatomical landmarks were also measured. Additionally, the ACF defect area of relevant surgical cases performed using endoscopic transcribriform approaches were measured on immediate postoperative computed tomography head scans using radiological imaging software. RESULTS: The harvest of both the simple and the extended TOPFs was efficient. As expected, the areas offered by simple and extended TOPFs were smaller than that offered by the traditional bicoronal flap. However, the surface area offered by either the simple or extended TOPF provides sufficient coverage for most ACF defects. A high spatial distribution was observed between the vascular pedicles and their respective foramen or notch. CONCLUSIONS: The TOPF represents a novel harvesting, tunneling, and insetting technique that offers a large, versatile, pedicled flap for coverage of most standard ACF defects after endoscopic surgery.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of diagnostic TORS lingual tonsillectomy (DTLT) on objective swallowing measures for carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP). METHODS: Between 10/2016-1/2020, 27 patients with p16+ squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) level 2a nodal disease underwent DTLT and ipsilateral neck dissection for CUP. No patient had a history of cutaneous SCC. Patients participated in Modified Barium Swallow (MBS) three weeks post-TORS, which were then compared to those from a contemporaneous cohort of 40 patients with clinically-identified p16+ base of tongue (BOT) primary tumors. DIGEST scores were retrospectively calculated. Univariate and multivariate analysis performed, stratified by BOT glossectomy (n = 40) versus lingual tonsillectomy for CUP (n = 27). Radiation to the resected primary or potential primary sources was omitted if margins were ≥3 mm or if no primary identified. RESULTS: Twenty-seven consecutive patients with clinical stage cT0N1 HPV-associated OPSCC had a BOT primary pathologically identified in 18/27 (67%). Univariate analysis of functional swallow assessment on MBSImP correlated with improved post-TORS DIGEST scores for CUP. On multivariate analysis (MVA) DIGEST safety scores were improved for CUP than cT1 BOT glossectomy [Odds Ratio (OR) 0.28, p = 0.038]. MVA on matched pT1 CUP (n = 27) vs. pT1 BOT (n = 19), OR of moderate/severe dysphagia for CUP was 0.54 [0.12-2.38, p = 0.417] for DIGEST safety scores and 0.27 [0.06-1.18, p = 0.082] for DIGEST efficiency scores. Moderate/severe dysphagia as determined by DIGEST overall scores for CUP compared to cT1 and pT1 yielded an OR of 0.39 (p = 0.081) and 0.42 (p = 0.195), respectively. Twenty-six total patients received adjuvant RT, and 18 (11 with ≥3 mm margins, 9 with negative specimens) were spared intentional RT to the oropharynx. Median follow-up was 22.6 months with 100% PFS. CONCLUSIONS: Patients undergoing DTLT for CUP demonstrated acute swallow defecits in the post-operative setting. A comparison of long-term functional results between DTLT and elective irradiation of the primary site should be studied. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.

RESUMO

Objectives The video demonstrates the steps for an endoscopic transnasal approach for resection of the odontoid causing platybasia with basilar invasion. Design The video reviews the clinical presentation, preoperative workup and imaging, patient positioning, technical nuances of the procedure, reconstruction, and clinical outcomes including postoperative imaging. Setting The surgery was performed by a skull base team including otolaryngologists and neurological surgeons at a large regional tertiary care facility. Participants A 59-year-old female with the Chiari I malformation with history of multiple revision cervical spinal surgeries presents with neck pain. Preoperative imaging showed a hypoplastic clivus and platybasia with basilar invasion. Main Outcome Measures The main outcome measures consist of safely removing the odontoid with appropriate closure, reversal of the patient symptoms, and prevention of both operative complications and ventral compression of the brainstem. Results The patient's neck pain improved. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications besides anterior rightward nasal septal deviation causing unilateral nasal obstruction. A septoplasty was performed to correct the septal deviation 6 months after the initial procedure. Conclusions The endoscopic transnasal approach to the resection of odontoid is a safe and effective treatment to address basilar invasion and ventral compression of the brainstem.
