Anatomical Step-by-Step Dissection of Complex Skull Base Approaches for Trainees: Lateral Supraorbital Approach with Expanded Indications
Conclusions As compared with the pterional craniotomy, the LSO approach involves a shorter incision, smaller craniotomy, and faster exposure; it can be conveniently tailored to various indications. Understanding the step-by-step dissection and indications of the LSO approach is of paramount importance to neurosurgery trainees.

Epidural Interlay Graft for Pituitary Surgery: A 4-Year Institutional Experience
Conclusions Simple sellar repair using an epidural interlay graft is highly effective in preventing postoperative CSF leaks, including cases of high-flow intraoperative leaks. More complex repair techniques are reserved for select high-risk cases or those with inadequate sellar bony ledges. With this technique, there has been no postoperative CSF leak at our institution in over 300 consecutive transsphenoidal pituitary surgeries.

Significant Underreporting of Preoperative Hyposmia in Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery: Discrepancies Between Subjective and Objective Measurements
Conclusions Our analysis demonstrates higher than anticipated underreporting of preoperative hyposmia in patients undergoing ESBS as well as discrepancies between subjective and objective olfactory functions in the FESS population. The results highlight several gaps in knowledge regarding perioperative olfactory function that would be best examined with more thorough pre- and postoperative objective olfactory testing. This analysis demonstrates significant prognostic uncertainty for patients and providers and creates significant medicolegal uncertainty regarding the appropriate attribution of postoperative olfactory loss...

Assessing the Quality of Recruitment Information on Skull Base Surgical Fellowship Program Websites
Conclusion Although many skull base fellowship programs have maintained comprehensive program Web sites, certain critical aspects remain deficient, and some programs provide little to no information. Providing more detailed information about programs can prove mutually beneficial for fellowship program directors and candidates.

Endoscopic Endonasal Approach for Clival Chordomas in Elderly Patients: Clinical Characteristics, Patient Outcome, and Recurrence Rate
Conclusion EEA can be a useful approach in elderlies, balancing the large tumor removal with an acceptable morbidity rate, even if higher than that for general CC population. However, patient selection remains crucial. A multidisciplinary evaluation is important to assess not only their medical conditions, but also their social and familiar conditions.

Cost of Vestibular Schwannoma Treatment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion Our findings describe the limited and significant variability of data on published costs for the treatment of VS. Given the relative clinical equipoise between treatment modalities in some scenarios, better understanding of this end-point will help physicians make more responsible recommendations in the resource-constrained environment of modern healthcare and this analysis should serve as a starting point for more robust analysis into cost-effectiveness of treatment for VS.

Anatomical Step-by-Step Dissection of Complex Skull Base Approaches for Trainees: Surgical Anatomy of the Bifrontal Transbasal Approach, Surgical Principles, and Illustrative Cases
Conclusion While the transbasal approach is rich with historical descriptions, illustrations, and modifications, its stepwise performance may be relatively unknown and unclear to younger generations of trainees. We present a comprehensive guide to optimize familiarity with the transbasal approach and its indications in the surgical anatomy laboratory, mastery of the relevant microsurgical anatomy, and simultaneous preparation for learning and participation in the operating room.

Neurocognitive Functioning of Patients with Sinonasal and Nasopharyngeal Cancers Treated With Multimodality Therapy
Conclusion and Relevance Patients with sinonasal and NPCs are at risk for NCF impairments in multiple areas at baseline and memory decline following RT. Future prospective studies are needed to investigate the impact of each treatment modality on NCF and specific risk factors for cognitive dysfunction.

The Role of the Transeptal Window in Endoscopic Endonasal Access to the Contralateral Orbit
Conclusions EEA + TW is a minimally invasive technique that maximizes exposure and maneuverability within the medial orbital wall, allowing resection of lesions that extend anteriorly. EEA + TW limits disruption of the nasal septum and overcomes the obstacle that intranasal anatomy represents for instrumentation.

Clinical Study of Symptomatic Nonacute Intracranial Large Arterial Occlusion with Endovascular Recanalization
Conclusion Endovascular recanalization is safe and feasible for patients with symptomatic NA-ILAO. Compared with stent implantation, simple balloon dilation may be a better recanalization method, but larger randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm it.

Functional and Radiographic Outcomes of Cavernous Meningiomas Based on Treatment Modality
Conclusions Radiation has an excellent rate of radiographic control. Surgery is an option for large or symptomatic lesions. The role of surgery is primarily for vision preservation, decompression of cranial nerves, and tumor debulking and patients should be counseled extensively regarding treatment goals and expectations prior to surgery.
