مستخلص: The endoscopic contralateral transmaxillary (CTM) approach has been proposed as a potential route to widen the corridor posterolateral to the internal carotid artery (ICA). In this study, we first refined the surgical technique of a combined multiportal endoscopic endonasal transclival (EETC) and CTM approach to the petrous apex (PA) and petroclival synchondrosis (PCS) in the dissection laboratory, and then validated its applications in a preliminary surgical series. The combined EETC and CTM approach was performed on three cadaver specimens based on four surgical steps: (1) the nasal, (2) the clival, (3) the maxillary and (4) the petrosal phases. The CTM provided a "head-on trajectory" to the PA and PCS and a short distance to the surgical field considerably furthering surgical maneuverability. The best operative set-up was achieved by introducing angled optics via the endonasal route and operative instruments via the transmaxillary corridor exploiting the advantages of a non-coaxial multiportal surgery. Clinical applications of the combined EETC and CTM approach were reported in three cases, a clival chordoma and two giant pituitary adenomas. The present translational study explores the safety and feasibility of a combined multiportal EETC and CTM approach to access the petroclival region though different corridors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
