World Neurosurg 2022 Aug 6. Epub 2022 Aug 6.

Department of Neurosurgery, University Hospital 12 de Octubre, Avda de Córdoba s/n, 28041 Madrid, Spain.

Background: Skull base lesions within the middle cranial fossa (MCF) remain challenging. Recent reports suggest that transorbital endoscopic approaches (TOEAs) might be particularly suitable to access the MCF and expose the lateral wall of the cavernous sinus (CS) and the Meckel's cave (MC).

Methods: The present study was developed to compare the nuances of the subtemporal approach (STA) with those of the lateral TOEA (LTOEA) to the MCF and posterior cranial fossa (PCF) in cadaveric specimens. Read More

Front Surg 2022 20;9:919276. Epub 2022 Jul 20.

Department of Neurosurgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, China.

Background: Frontal sinus exposure is a common consequence of frontal craniotomy. Cerebrospinal fluid leakage and infection are the major postoperative complications that may occur as a result of the open frontal sinus. The successful filling of the open frontal sinus provides an approach to prevent significant complications caused by frontal sinus exposure. Read More

Endoscopic sinus surgery is commonly performed to treat odontogenic maxillary sinusitis. However, recurrence and natural ostium reclosure often occur due to the inadequate patency of the excretory route. Furthermore, classical maxillary sinus radical surgery is still performed for odontogenic maxillary sinusitis even though it can cause postoperative maxillary sinus deformation, loss of function, and a postoperative maxillary cyst.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the dimensional and morphological measurements of the frontal air sinuses in different ages and genders in the two ethnicities.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 360 subjects (160 males and 200 females) of both ethnicities. Subjects were divided based on age and gender into four groups, including an equal number of both males and females, for each age and ethnic group. Read More

Plast Reconstr Surg 2022 Jul 29. Epub 2022 Jul 29.

Division of Pediatric Plastic Surgery, Division of Cleft & Craniofacial Surgery, Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, Nashville, TN.

Objective: This study aims to develop guidelines for the transfer of patients with isolated craniomaxillofacial (CMF) trauma.

Methods: A national, multidisciplinary, expert panel was assembled from leadership in national organizations and contributors to published literature on facial reconstruction. The final panel consisted of five plastic surgeons, four otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeons, and four oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Read More
