OBJECTIVE: To describe a modification of the pterional approach (PT), the minipterional
craniotomy (MPT), and compare the anatomic exposure provided by these two approaches …

OBJECT The object of this study was to compare the clinical, functional, and aesthetic
results of 2 surgical techniques, pterional (PT) and minipterional (MPT) craniotomies, for …

Minipterional (MPT) craniotomy has recently been added to the neurosurgical
armamentarium as a less invasive alternative to the pterional craniotomy for the treatment of …

The lateral supraorbital (LSO) approach is a minimally invasive modification of the pterional
approach. The authors assess the surgical indications and esthetic benefits of the LSO …

Object Reconstruction of a cranial vault defect is a frequent challenge in neurosurgery.
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is used in many types of prostheses and has been employed …

BACKGROUND: Several minimally invasive modifications of the standard pterional
approach have been proposed recently. The lateral supraorbital approach is one of these …

Background Posterior fossa surgery traditionally implies permanent bone removal. Although
suboccipital craniectomy offers an excellent exposure, it could lead to complications. Thus …

The pterional approach was described in the 1970s and has become the most utilized
cranial approach with many variations described, including the minipterional technique …

Background Temporal hollowing is a common complication after pterional craniotomy.
Etiologies of hollowing are still in debate and inconclusive. The objective of this study is to …

Objective Keyhole craniotomy is a modification of pterional craniotomy that allows for use of
a minimally invasive approach toward cerebral aneurysms. Currently, mini-pterional (MPKC) …
