Evolution of Skull Base Surgery: The Multidisciplinary Team Approach
https://t.me/med1917
collaboration between rhinologists and neurosurgeons,
opening their minds.
Slowly but steadily, the modern endoscopic skull base
surgery was developed in some centers, not without controversies, particularly when malignant sinonasal tumors
were also started to be removed through an endoscopic
approach.
3
As always in medicine, this progression occurred
stepwise. First, small amenable tumors, and then, with
increasing experience, larger tumors were approached. Of
course, the idea to treat malignant tumors solely through
the nose was scary due to the narrow entrance to the surgical field, the difficulties to perform a “monoblock” resection, and last but not the least, the problems in achieving
tumor-free margins. This led some authors to debulking
or fragmenting (“disassembling”) the tumors.
term, endoscopic approaches seem to achieve similar outcomes and survival rates as open ones.

In the long
Technology is increasingly allowing the expansion of
the endoscopic nasal surgery, as is the number of rhinologists and neurosurgeons involved in endoscopic
multidisciplinary teams. High-definition cameras have
replaced traditional cameras. Furthermore, the advent
of high-definition monitors, translating into an increased
pixel density, offers the surgeon better color, contrast,
resolution, and peripheral visualization of the surgical
field.
This, together with the increasing experience of the
teams, particularly the groups from Pittsburgh (Kassam,
Carrau and coworkers) and Italy (Cappabianca, Castelnuovo and Locatelli, Frank and Pasquini), led to the development of different surgical corridors in the coronal and
sagittal planes, with the rule of never to cross nerves and/
or the internal carotid artery, and expanded the endonasal corridors, as can be studied in the different chapters of
this book, from the anterior skull base to the middle and
posterior cranial fossae.
The major challenge encountered was in reconstructing those large skull base defects left after extended
approaches. Postoperative CSF leakages, with the risk of
ascending bacterial meningitis subsequently increasing,
were among the most frequent complications feared. To
minimize that risk, the incorporation of pedicle flaps into
the armamentarium of skull base reconstruction can be
considered a milestone. The nasoseptal flap described by
Hadad et al in 2006 definitely opened the door to more
transnasal surgeries of the skull base, reducing the risk of
CSF leaks significantly.
35
Since then, other local nasal flaps
such as lateral wall flap and regional flaps, for example,
the pericranial flap, were extremely helpful to reconstruct even after endoscopic resections of large tumors.
The aim of this book is to recollect and thoroughly
describe all anatomic aspects and possibilities of transnasal endoscopic surgery of the paranasal sinus, as this
will serve to understand more extended approaches.
Here, important vascular structures, such as the ethmoidal arteries or the internal maxillary and sphenopalatine artery, plus its branches, deserve a chapter on
its own. The next block deals with the anterior cranial
fossa, analyzing all the different approaches to the anterior skull and brain, from the transcribriform to the transorbital approach, including also the sella and suprasella
spaces, and the cavernous sinus. We then move laterally
toward the middle cranial fossa, focusing on the quadrangular space, the intrapetrous artery, and the anterior
petrosectomy. The next group of chapters is related to the
clivus and posterior cranial fossa corridors, including the
retrosellar, the transclival, the craniovertebral junction,
the transcondylar, and the jugular foramen approaches.
After that, the approaches to the pterygopalatine and
infratemporal fossa are described, including the nasopharyngectomy. The last chapters address combined endoscopic and transcranial approaches, basic landmarks
in expanded endoscopic skull base surgery, particularly
bony landmarks and the internal carotid artery, and reconstruction techniques.

Introduction
In recent years, advances in computer technology and
medical imaging techniques have acquired a significant
impact on different branches of surgery, medical education, and research. In the fields of neurosurgery and
otorhinolaryngology, progress in neuroimaging studies, such as high-resolution computed tomography (CT)
scans, magnetic resonance imaging studies, and digital
subtraction angiography data, has certainly refined the
visualization of anatomic structures within the brain and
the skull. At the same time, the evolution of minimally
invasive techniques and the introduction of the endoscope have led to endoscopic endonasal (EE) approaches
rapidly becoming the standard of care for pituitary and
other skull base tumors, thus requiring the acquisition of
new surgical skills. Even experienced neurosurgeons and
rhinologists face a steep learning curve in EE approaches, as the operation is performed through a tight space,
where both the lack of maneuverability and the conventional mucosal bleeding may hinder the visualization of
the surgical field. An additional burden is represented by
the lack of stereoscopic vision of most endoscopes. Even
though the advent of three-dimensional (3D) scopes in
endonasal surgery has improved depth perception, such
new tools still face difficulties in hand–eye coordination.
For such reasons, endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery
can take a long time to learn and execute, especially for
those surgeons not fully confident with the scope.
Anatomic cadaveric dissection has been, for many
years, the only training tool available for guiding the
improvement of technical skills in endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery. However, during the last decade, with the
diffusion of 3D computer-generated models that provide
accurate patient-specific 3D reconstructions from neuroimaging data, allowing interaction with such models,
and the simulation of the different steps of the surgical
intervention, the training in EE neurosurgery has gained
further developments.
Combined with anatomic laboratory dissection, 3D
computer-based reconstructions represent a unique
opportunity for research and educational purposes when
applied to the transsphenoidal perspective, guiding the
acquisition of specific visual information for endoscopic
approaches to the skull base.
helical acquisition protocol, with 0.625-mm slice thickness,
using a gantry angle of 0 degrees. The images obtained were
stored into the hospital PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) network in a DICOM (Digital Imaging
and Communications in Medicine) format.
2.1.2 Anatomic Cadaveric
Dissection
All dissections were performed in the Laboratory of Surgical NeuroAnatomy (LSNA), at the University of Barcelona,
Spain. The position of the head on the dissection table
was adjusted to match the usual position in the operating room, to better emulate a true surgical intervention.
An EE transsphenoidal approach to the midline skull base
was performed in three specimens using a rigid 0-degree
endoscope, 18 cm in length and 4 mm in diameter (Karl
Storz Endoscopy), as the sole visualizing instrument
during the whole procedure.
2.1.3 Image Processing: Generating
a Virtual 3D Model
The 3D model was developed from the CT scans of the
anatomic specimens (postdissection CT), using a specific
software for visualization and manipulation of biomedical data (Amira Visage Imaging Inc.). The 3D reconstructions of the bone volume of each surgical procedure were
compared with those obtained in the dissection laboratory. The methodology followed at the LSNA to generate the
3D models is described in detail elsewhere.

2.2 Simulation of the Diff erent
Steps of the EE Approach
In the present section, the main steps usually used to
reach the midline skull base through a ventral approach
are described. Specifically, the EE approach using different computer-based 3D models generated from the
high-resolution CT scans is modeled in a step-by-step
sequence, including the different nasal steps,
sphenoidal and extended approaches,
corridors to the ventral brainstem.

2.1.1 Data Acquisition
(Predissection CT Scan)
A CT scan (SOMATOM Sensation 64; Siemens AG) of each
specimen was performed prior to each dissection at the
Department of Neuroradiology, Hospital Clinic, Barcelona.
The heads were positioned in the scanner according to the
Frankfurt plane. All studies were performed with a multislice

2.2.1 Nasal Steps
Once the endoscope is progressively introduced through
the nostrils, the nasal vestibule, and the piriform aperture,
a general view of the nasal cavity is obtained. The key nasal
structures to be identified include the nasal septum (S),
the head of the inferior (IT) and middle turbinates (MT),
and the respective inferior and middle meati (Fig. 2.1).
In a second step, a bilateral middle turbinectomy (MT,
triangulated models) is performed to allow a wide exposure (Fig. 2.2). Once both middle turbinates are removed,
the bulla ethmoidalis (BE, Fig. 2.3) is easily identified.

In a third step, a septectomy is performed. This is
accomplished by the resection of the posterior part of the
nasal septum (S, triangulated model) (Fig. 2.3).
The removal of the nasal septum may require the disarticulation of the sphenoidal crest from the perpendicular
plate of ethmoid (Fig. 2.4).
In a fourth step, a bilateral ethmoidotomy is performed.
It is important to avoid damaging the lamina papyracea
(Fig. 2.5).
The final nasal step of the approach corresponds to
an anterior sphenoidotomy. Once the anterior wall of
the sphenoid is removed, several sphenoid septa can be
observed within the sphenoid sinus. These septa could
maintain a very close relationship with the internal carotid artery, so their removal must be performed very
carefully (Fig. 2.6).
and the clivus (C). Laterally, prominences corresponding to the optic nerve (OP), the internal carotid artery
(CP), the opticocarotid recess in between (OCR), and
the paraclival carotid prominence (CPc) can be found
(Fig. 2.7).
From the sphenoid sinus, different extended
approaches have been described to access different
compartments of the midline skull base. These include
the transcribiform (red), the transplanum/transtuberculum (pale blue), the sellar (yellow), the transclival
(dark blue), the craniovertebral junction (purple),
and the lateral cavernous sinus (green) approaches
(Fig. 2.8).

Ventral Brainstem
2.2.2 Transsphenoidal and
Extended Approaches
Within the posterior wall of the sphenoid sinus, several
critical landmarks must be identified. At the midline,
the “suprasellar notch” can be seen or the tuberculum
sellae (TS) as viewed from below, the sellar floor (SF),
The transclival EE approach allows access to the ventral
and ventrolateral surfaces of the brainstem and related
cisternal through three anatomically defined subregions:
cranial (green box), middle (blue box), and caudal (yellow
box) levels. Each of these levels shows a close relationship
with standard surgical corridors established via the retrosigmoid route (Fig. 2.9).

are visualized (Fig. 2.10).

middle level and inferiorly by the superior margin of C1.
Through this level, the hypoglossal nerve emerging from
the medulla, between the pyramid and the inferior olive,
the loop of the posteroinferior cerebellar artery, and the
accessory nerve rootlets entering the jugular foramen are
visualized (Fig. 2.12).
