Surgical [[tumor resection]] is the mainstay of [[lateral sphenoid wing meningioma treatment]], and the goal of surgery is complete removal of the tumor with wide excision of the affected bone and dura, minimizing the risk for future [[meningioma recurrence]].
----



===== Surgical Strategy =====

[[Pterional craniotomy]], flattening of the squamous [[temporal bone]]

Limited [[dural opening]] into the tumor for initial [[debulking]]

Pterional dural opening to access the proximal ICA

Dearterialization of the tumor along the [[sphenoid wing]]

Debulking both central and capsular portions of the tumor

Cleaving the tumor along the ICA-M1 MCA to dissect the MCA candelabra

Preservation of the medial arachnoid around the ICA and cranial nerves

[[Cautery]] and resection of the dura of the sphenoid wing
