    Abstract: Object. Reconstruction of the cranial base after resection of complex lesions requires creation of both a vascularized barrier to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage and tailored filling of operative defects. The authors describe the use of radial forearm microvascular free-flap grafts to reconstruct skull base lesions, to fill small tissue defects, and to provide an excellent barrier against CSF leakage. Methods. Ten patients underwent 11 skull base procedures including placement of microvascular free-flap grafts harvested from the forearm and featuring the radial artery and its accompanying venae comitantes. Operations included six craniofacial, three lateral skull base, and two transoral procedures for various diseases. Excellent results were obtained, with no persistent CSF leaks, no flap failures, and no operative infections. One temporary CSF leak was easily repaired with flap repositioning, and at one flap donor site minor wound breakdown was observed. One patient underwent a second procedure for tumor recurrence and CSF leakage at a site distant from the original operation. Conclusions. Microvascular free tissue transfer reconstruction of skull base defects by using the radial forearm flap provides a safe, reliable, low-morbidity method for reconstructing the skull base and is ideally suited to “low-volume” defects.

    Quantification of increased exposure resulting from orbital rim and orbitozygomatic osteotomy via the frontotemporal transsylvian approach

    Abstract: Object. Use of orbital rim and orbitozygomatic osteotomy has been extensively reported to increase exposure in neurosurgical procedures. However, there have been few attempts to quantify the extent of additional exposure gained by these maneuvers. Using a novel laboratory technique, the authors have attempted to measure the increase in the “area of exposure” that is gained by removal of the orbital rim and zygomatic arch via the frontotemporal transsylvian approach. Methods. The authors dissected five cadavers bilaterally. The area of exposure provided by the frontotemporal transsylvian approach was determined by using a frameless stereotactic device. With the tip of a microdissector placed on targets deep within the exposure, the position of the end of the microdissector handle was measured in three-dimensional space as the microdissector was rotated around the periphery of the operative field. This maneuver was performed via the frontotemporal approach alone as well as with orbital rim and orbitozygomatic osteotomy approaches. After data manipulation, the areas of exposure corresponding to the polygons used to define these handle positions were calculated and directly compared. On average, the area of exposure provided by the frontotemporal transsylvian approach was increased 26 to 39% (p 〈 0.05) by adding orbital rim osteotomy and an additional 13 to 22% (not significant) with removal of the zygomatic arch. Conclusions. Significant and consistent increases in surgical exposure were obtained by using orbital osteotomy, whereas zygomatic arch removal produced less consistent gains. Both maneuvers may be expected to improve surgical access. However, because larger and more consistent gains were afforded by orbital rim removal, the threshold for removal of this portion of the orbitozygomatic complex should be lower.

    Abstract: Object. The petrosal approach to the petroclival region has been used by a variety of authors in various ways and the terminology has become quite confusing. A systematic assessment of the benefits and limitations of each approach is also lacking. The authors classify their approach to the middle and upper clivus, review the applications for each, and test their hypotheses on a cadaver model by using frameless stereotactic guidance. Methods. The petrosal approach to the upper and middle clivus is divided into four increasingly morbidity-producing steps: retrolabyrinthine, transcrusal (partial labyrinthectomy), transotic, and transcochlear approaches. Four latexinjected cadaveric heads (eight sides) underwent dissection in which frameless stereotactic guidance was used. An area of exposure 10 cm superficial to a central target (working area) was calculated. The area and length of clival exposure with each subsequent dissection was also calculated. The retrolabyrinthine approach spares hearing and facial function but provides for only a small window of upper clival exposure. The view afforded by what we have called the transcrusal approach provides for up to four times this exposure. The transotic and transcochlear procedures, although producing more morbidity, add little in terms of a larger clival window. However, with each step, the surgical freedom for manipulation of instruments increases. Conclusions. The petrosal approach to the upper and middle clivus is useful but should be used judiciously, because levels of morbidity can be high. The retrolabyrinthine approach has limited utility. For tumors without bone invasion, the transcrusal approach provides a much more versatile exposure with an excellent chance of hearing and facial nerve preservation. The transotic approach provides for greater versatility in treating lesions but clival exposure is not greatly enhanced. Transcochlear exposure adds little in terms of intradural exposure and should be reserved for cases in which access to the petrous carotid artery is necessary.

    Abstract: ✓ As a term, the “petrosal approach” to the petroclival region has a variety of meanings. The authors define a common nomenclature based on historical contributions and add new terminology to describe a technique of hearing preservation that allows for greater exposure of the petroclival region. The degree of temporal bone dissection defines five stages of operation. The authors used the second or “transcrusal” stage, in which the posterior and superior semicircular canals are sacrificed while preserving hearing, in six consecutive cases. Use of a common terminology ensures better understanding among surgeons. In the authors' hands, hearing has been successfully preserved in six patients after partial labyrinthectomy.

    Abstract: In the treatment of acoustic neuroma, operative results have improved greatly during recent years, with high rates of functional cranial nerve preservation. Because of this, it has become more important to consider issues of patient satisfaction and quality of life (QOL) following treatment for these lesions. The authors have developed a novel questionnaire designed to measure QOL in patients with acoustic neuromas, and they administered it to 50 consecutive patients at least 6 months after acoustic neuroma surgery. Overall QOL was judged to be good but with definite minor difficulties, including some problems with hearing, facial nerve function, headache, tinnitus, dizziness, activity level, enjoyment of life, and emotional well-being. No significant differences were found between age groups and different operative approaches, and only minor differences were found in relation to tumor size. Patients with intracanalicular tumors fared no better than those with cerebellopontine angle tumors. Analysis of the data suggests an overall good outcome from acoustic neuroma surgery; however, when discussing the possible effects on postoperative QOL, even the potential minor problems should not be minimized, especially in patients undergoing operation for small or intracanalicular tumors.
