Endoscopic supraorbital eyebrow approach for the surgical treatment of extraaxialand intraaxial tumors.

Conclusions The endoscopic supraorbital eyebrow approach is a safe and effective minimally invasive approach to remove extra- and intraaxial anterior skull base, parasellar, and frontal lesions, promoting a rapid recovery and short hospital stay. The location of the eyebrow incision demands a meticulous cosmetic closure, but, with proper technique, cosmetic results are excellent. PMID: 25270140 [PubMed - in process]
