Purely endoscopic subtemporal keyhole anterior transpetrosal approach to access the petrous apex region: surgical techniques and early results
CONCLUSIONS: An eATPA allows a direct route to access Meckel's cave and posterior cranial fossa lesions similar to conventional mATPA, with shortening the operative time and reducing the risk of postoperative temporal lobe edema. This eATPA is considered one of the new surgical techniques that can be expected to develop in the future.PMID:38579340 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS231774 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Extraocular muscle electromyographic recordings for intraoperative monitoring of cranial nerves III, IV, and VI: a single-center experience with intraorbital electrodes
CONCLUSIONS: The 25-mm shaft-insulated intraorbital electrode facilitates robust and consistent electromyographic recordings of EOMs that are advantageous over existing techniques. Combined with the relative ease of needle placement and low rate of complications, the technique is practical for neuromonitoring during craniotomies.PMID:38579353 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS231867 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Naoxueshu Oral Liquid Accelerates Post-Craniotomy Hematoma Absorption in Patients: An Open-Label, Multicenter, and Randomized Controlled Trial
ConclusionsThe administration of NXS demonstrated the potential to promote the percentage reduction in hematoma volume from day 1 to day 15. This intervention was found to be safe and feasible. The response to NXS may be influenced by patient characteristics. (Registration No. ChiCTR1800017981) (Source: Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine)

360 ° around the orbit: key surgical anatomy of the microsurgical and endoscopic cranio-orbital and orbitocranial approaches
CONCLUSIONS: This study outlines the essential surgical steps for major cranio-orbital and orbitocranial approaches. Endoscopic endonasal approaches offer direct medial access, potentially providing bilateral exposure to optic canals. ETOAs serve as both orbital access and as a corridor to surrounding regions. Cranio-orbital approaches follow a lateral-to-medial, superior-to-inferior trajectory, progressively allowing removal of protective bony structures for proportional orbit access.PMID:38560949 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.FOCUS23866 (Source: Neurosurgical Focus)

Clinical outcomes and complications of eyelid versus eyebrow approaches to supraorbital craniotomy: systematic review and indirect meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first meta-analysis that quantitatively compared complications of eyebrow versus eyelid approaches to supraorbital craniotomy. This study found similar overall complication rates but higher rates of selected complication domains in the eyelid group. The literature is limited by a high degree of variability in the reported outcomes.PMID:38560941 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.FOCUS23878 (Source: Neurosurgical Focus)

Anterolateral keyhole transorbital routes to the skull base: a comparative anatomical study
CONCLUSIONS: All the aforementioned approaches use the sphenoid wing as skull base corridor from a specific orientation point; hence these are designated as transwing approaches. Their peculiarities mandate careful case selection for the effective and safe completion of the surgical goals.PMID:38560934 | DOI:10.3171/2024.2.FOCUS23877 (Source: Neurosurgical Focus)
