Reappraisal of the types of trigeminal porus and importance in surgical applications

ConclusionsIn our study, ellipse and slit-like types of TP are taken into account in order to plan the surgical approaches to remove or prevent the extension of tumors. A combined surgical technique is recommended to reach the TP easily without damaging the nearby surgical structures during surgery. The oval type of TP allows a wide range of movements, so it is more advantageous in skull base surgery.
