Conclusion This modified approach provides a wide surgical corridor to access the CPC while ensuring the minimal invasiveness of the standard S-shaped incision. Compared with the latter, it preserves better the integrity of the surrounding soft tissues and appears less likely to cause any iatrogenic injury to occipital muscles and cutaneous nerves.

Endoscopic Endonasal versus Transcranial Optic Canal Decompression: A Morphometric, Cadaveric Study
Conclusion The endoscopic endonasal and the transcranial approaches provide a similar length of optic canal decompression, but the transcranial approach leads to greater circumferential decompression. The endoscopic endonasal approach has the benefit of being minimally invasive, though. Ultimately, the surgical approach decision should be based on the location of the pathology and the surgeon's comfort.

A Prospective Evaluation of Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Extended Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery for Benign Pituitary Gland Lesion

Endoscopic Endonasal Approaches to the Clivus with No Violation of the Nasopharynx: Surgical Anatomy and Clinical Illustration
Conclusion This study shows the anatomical feasibility of total clivectomy and exposure of the craniovertebral junction with preservation of the nasopharynx. A more favorable anatomical posterior fossa defect for the reconstruction is achieved with this technique. Further clinical studies are needed to assess if this change would impact the postoperative CSF leak rate.

Safety of Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery during the COVID-19 Pandemic and Comparison to the Pre-Pandemic Era
Conclusion In contrast to published guidelines, adequate preoperative testing, a multidisciplinary approach and the implementation of standardized protocols and vaccination against COVID-19 allow for endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery to be performed safely in patients with pituitary pathology during the pandemic.

30-Day Readmissions and Coordination of Care Following Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery: Experience with 409 Patients
Conclusion Delayed hyponatremia is one of the most common causes of 30-day readmission following ETPS. Postoperative follow-up with an endocrinologist may reduce risk of 30-day readmission following ETPS.
Implications for Clinical Practice A multidisciplinary team incorporating otolaryngologist, neurosurgeons, and endocrinologist may identify patients at risk of 30-day readmissions. Protocols checking serum sodium within 1 week of surgery in conjunction with endocrinologist to tailor fluid restriction may reduce readmissions from delayed hyponatremia.

Olfactory Preservation in Craniofacial Resection of Tumor Invading Hemianterior Skull Base: Operative Video
We present the case of a 32-year-old woman with osteosarcoma in the right ethmoid sinus. The tumor invaded the ipsilateral cribriform plate, dura menta, and orbital periosteum; however, the nasal septum and crista galli were intact (Fig. 1A, B). Because the tumor was a high-grade malignancy and the orbita had been invaded, we performed craniofacial resection instead of endoscopic resection (Fig. C2A). We drilled into the right side of the crista galli, midline of the cribriform plate, and perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone via craniotomy. As a result, we accessed the nasal cavity directly (Fig. 2B). To preserve the na...

Peripheral and Central Smell Regions in Migraine Patients using Mara ? Powder (Smokeless Tobacco): A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation
Conclusion?We concluded that the peripheral smell region of the OB volume decreased in migraine patients (using or not using Mara? powder). However, the central smell region of corpus amygdala area decreased in Mara? powder using migraine patients. Mara? powder usage may increase vascular shrinkage, and the decrease in OB volume and corpus amygdala area becomes prominent. It can be said that Mara? powder usage may cause a size decrease in the peripheral and central smell regions in migraine patients. Therefore, migraine patients and non-migrainous people should be noticed for the harmful effects of Mara? powder on the vasc...
