Approaches

  • Endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA)
  • Transplanum / transtuberculum approach
  • Transclival approach
  • Far-lateral approach
  • Middle fossa approach
  • Anterior petrosectomy (Kawase approach)

The main problem ahead on many neurosurgeons is the way they could approach a deep lesion inside cranial cavity 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) , although stereotaxy and neuronavigation have their own benefits but have also pitfalls as well 6) 7) 8).



  • Translabyrinthine approach
  • Transpetrosal approach
