Abstract
Minimally invasive (MIS) approaches to neurosurgical diseases continue to increase in popularity due to their association with decreased infection risk, shorter recovery time, and improved cosmesis. Cosmesis and lower morbidity are especially important for pediatric patients. The supraorbital keyhole craniotomy (SOKC) is one MIS approach shown to be effective for both neoplastic and vascular pathologies in pediatric patients. However, it is limited data on its use in pediatric trauma patients. Two cases employing SOKC in pediatric trauma patients are presented here along with a systematic review of the literature. We queried PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from inception to August 2022 using the Boolean search term: (supraorbital OR eyebrow OR transeyebrow OR suprabrow OR superciliary OR supraciliary) AND (craniotomy OR approach OR keyhole OR procedure) AND (pediatric OR children OR child OR young) AND "trauma". Studies that discussed the use of an SOKC in a pediatric patient having sustained trauma to the frontal calvarium and/or anterior fossa/sellar region of the skull base were included. Details were extracted on patient demographics, trauma etiology, endoscope use, and surgical and cosmetic outcomes. We identified 89 unique studies, of which four met inclusion criteria. Thirteen total cases were represented. Age and sex were reported for 12 patients, 25% of whom were male; the mean age was 7.5 years (range: 3-16). Pathologies included acute epidural hematoma (9), orbital roof fracture with dural tear (1), blowout fracture of the medial wall of the frontal sinus with supraorbital rim fracture (1), and compound skull fracture (1). Twelve patients were treated with a conventional operating microscope, while one underwent endoscope-assisted surgery. Only one significant complication (recurrent epidural hematoma) was reported. There were no reported cosmetic complications. The MIS SOKC approach is a reasonable option for select anterior skull base trauma in the pediatric population. This approach has been used previously for successful frontal epidural hematoma evacuation, which is often treated by a large craniotomy. Further study is merited.

Abstract
Background Supraorbital eyebrow craniotomy is a minimally invasive alternative to a frontotemporal craniotomy and is often used for tumor and vascular pathologies. The purpose of this study was to investigate how patient cosmetic outcomes are affected by technique variations of this approach. Methods PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases were systematically searched, and results were reported according to PRISMA guidelines. For the meta-analysis portion, the DerSimonian-Laird random effects model was used, and the primary end points were patient satisfaction and percentage of permanent cosmetic complications. Results A total of 2,629 manuscripts were identified. Of those, 124 studies (8,241 surgical cases) met the inclusion criteria. Overall, 93.04 ± 11.93% of patients reported favorable cosmetic outcome following supraorbital craniotomy, and mean number of cases with permanent cosmetic complications was 6.62 ± 12.53%. We found that vascular cases are associated with more favorable cosmetic outcomes than tumor cases ( p = 0.0001). Addition of orbital osteotomy or use of a drain is associated with adverse cosmetic outcomes ( p = 0.001 and p = 0.0001, respectively). The location of incision, size of craniotomy, utilization of an endoscope, method of cranial reconstruction, skin closure, use of antibiotics, and addition of pressure dressing did not significantly impact cosmetic outcomes ( p > 0.05 for all). Conclusions Supraorbital craniotomy is a minimally invasive technique associated with generally high favorable cosmetic outcomes. While certain techniques used in supraorbital keyhole approach do not pose significant cosmetic risks, utilization of an orbital osteotomy and the addition of a drain correlate with unfavorable cosmetic outcomes.

Abstract
Objective The study aimed to provide neuroanatomical justification of the extradural resection of the anterior clinoid process (ACP). Material and Method Using a cross-sectional study design, 47 cranial computed tomography (CT) scans were examined. There were 31 (65.96%) females aged 28 to 79 years. The measured dimensions were ACP length and width, and optic strut (OS) width. Index (i acp ) was measured as the ratio of ACP width to ACP length. The ACP volume and working operating field (WOF) volume were measured using Syngo.via Siemens program. The percentage expansion of WOF after removal of the ACP was estimated on 5 fixed human cadaver heads with the exoscope VITOM 3D. The possibilities of the combined approach were demonstrated in a clinical case. Results The mean ACP lengths were 11.31 ± 2.76 and 11.54 ± 2.86 mm, on the right and left, respectively. The mean ACP widths were 7.70 ± 1.66 and 7.64 ± 1.67 mm, on the right and left, respectively. Average i acp was 0.67 (minimum 0.45; maximum 0.90). The width of the OS varied in the range from 1.37 to 4.75 mm. The average volume of right ACP was 0.71 ± 0.16 cm 3 , right WOF was 3.26 ± 0.74 cm 3 , left ACP was 0.71 ± 0.15 cm 3 , left and WOF was 3.20 ± 0.76 cm 3 . Removal of the right ACP expanded the right WOF by 22.21 ± 3.88%, and left ACP by 22.78 ± 5.50%. There was an approximately 25% increase in the WOF from the cadaveric dissections. Taking into account the variability of the ACP and OS, we proposed our own surgical classification of complicated (i acp ≥ 0.67; medium OS 2.5 mm ≤ 4.0 mm; wide OS ≥ 4.0 mm; ACP with pneumatization) and uncomplicated ACP (i acp 0.45 ≤ 0.67 mm; i acp ≤ 0.45; narrow OS ≤ 2.5 mm; ACP without pneumatization). Using this classification, we developed an algorithm for ACP dissection and removal. This was piloted in a clinical case of microsurgical clipping of a left internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery aneurysm via the left minipterional approach. Conclusion Extradural removal of ACP expands the WOF by approximately 25%, it helps neurosurgeons to improve proximal vascular control and avoid complications, and expands the range of indications for neurosurgical interventions in the skull base area.

Supraorbital eyebrow approach and pterional approach in surgical treatment of ruptured and unruptured aneurysms: a propensity score-matched analysis. Neurosurg Rev 2023; 46:179. [PMID: 37468681 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-023-02093-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2023] [Indexed: 07/21/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study is to reveal efficacy and efficiency of the supraorbital eyebrow approach (SEA) in clipping ruptured and unruptured aneurysms where both SEA and pterional approach (PA) are considered feasible by comparing SEA and PA using propensity score matching. A total of 229 patients who underwent surgical clipping of an aneurysm from 2013 to 2022 and met inclusion criteria were recruited in the study. A study group of 67 patients treated via the SEA and a comparison group of 162 patients treated via the PA were formed. Then, the subgroups of 66 patients each, with balanced incoming factors, were analyzed using the propensity score technique. The safety and efficacy endpoints were compared. Successful clipping was achieved in all cases of both groups. There were no patients in the SEA group who required conversion to the standard craniotomy. There were no procedure-related deaths in this series. No patient experienced early or late rebleeding in either group. Mean blood loss volume in the SEA group was lower than in the PA group by approximately 77.5 ml (p < 0.001). There were favorable differences in the SEA group regarding postoperative neurological deficit (p = 0.016), postoperative epileptic seizure rate (p = 0.013), ischemic and hemorrhagic complications (p = 0.028 and 0.0009, respectively), and outcomes (p < 0.001). Patients' satisfaction with cosmetic results measured by the visual analog scale was rated highly in both groups (p = 0.081). For patients where SEA provides adequate exposure, it results in safety and cosmetic outcomes not inferior to the PA.

Abstract
Background The supraorbital approach is a modification of the traditional pterional approach, and it offers the benefits of a shorter skin incision and a smaller craniotomy than the pterional approach. The purpose of this systemic review study was to compare the two surgical approaches for raptured and unruptured anterior cerebral circulation aneurysms. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, and MEDLINE, up to August 2021, for published studies on the supraorbital vs pterional keyhole approach for anterior cerebral circulation aneurysms, and reviewers performed a brief qualitative descriptive analysis of both approaches. Results Fourteen eligible studies were included in this systemic review. Results indicated that the supraorbital approach for anterior cerebral circulation aneurysms had fewer ischemic events compared to pterional approach. However, no significant difference between both groups in terms of complications such as intraoperative aneurysm rupture, brain hematoma, and postoperative infections for ruptured aneurysms. Conclusion The meta-analysis suggests that the supraorbital method for clipping anterior cerebral circulation aneurysms might be a viable alternative to the traditional pterional method as the supraorbital group had decreased ischemic events compared to the pterional group, however, the associated difficulties in utilizing this approach among ruptured aneurysms with cerebral oedema and midline shifts further needs to be understood.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The lateral supraorbital (LSO) approach is a minimally invasive modification of the standard pterional approach to anterior circulation aneurysms. This study aimed to describe a dual-trained cerebrovascular neurosurgeon's first 18-month experience with the LSO approach, including decision-making criteria and lessons learned. METHODS This retrospective case series analyzed 50 consecutive patients treated with LSO craniotomy for aneurysm clipping by a single surgeon. Aneurysms were separated into 3 categories by location: internal carotid artery, anterior communicating artery, and middle cerebral artery. Surgical characteristics were evaluated for differences by location and rupture status. RESULTS Aneurysm clipping via LSO was performed on 57 aneurysms in 50 patients. Fixed retraction was employed less often in patients with internal carotid artery aneurysms than in patients with anterior communicating artery, middle cerebral artery, or multiple aneurysms (10% vs. 68.2%, 45.5%, and 42.9, P = 0.02). Of patients, 26 (52%) presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage; the majority of patients (92.3%) had Hunt and Hess grade I-III. No differences were noted in intraoperative rupture rates, fixed retractor use, operative duration, or estimated blood loss by rupture status. Adverse events included permanent frontalis nerve palsy in 1 patient (2%), temporalis atrophy in 1 patient, and transient aphasia in 1 patient. No postoperative hematomas or strokes were observed. CONCLUSIONS The LSO approach can safely and effectively treat anterior circulation aneurysms and should be considered a viable minimally invasive option for aneurysm clipping. Further studies comparing the LSO approach with other cranial approaches are needed.

Abstract
Background Classical pterional appoach for temporal surgeries may cause atrophy and dysfunction of temporalis, injury to the facial nerve, and unnecessary cortical exposure. As an alternative to the classical pterional approach for such surgeries, we hereby describe an mini-temporal approach which reduces these risks and proven to be practical in neurological surgeries. Material and methods In the mini-temporal incision design, the frontal end of the incision never surpassed the hairline at the level of temporal line, and a one-layer skin-galea-muscle flap was detached from the cranium, effectively avoiding the injuries of facial nerve. The surgical bone window was completely located underneath the temporalis muscle, allowing it to be completely repositioned postoperatively. Results We demonstrated the application of mini-temporal approach in a variety of temporal region tumors, which can be applied to complete successful resective surgeries while effectively reducing injuries to extra-temporal cortex, temporalis, and facial nerve. There were no postoperative complications related to extra-temporal cortical damage, atrophy of temporalis, or injury to the facial nerve. Conclusion The mini-temporal approach can effectively shorten the time of craniotomy and closure, decrease the size of bony removal, increase the restoration of temporalis during closure, and lower the chance of facial nerve injury. Therefore, it improves cosmetic outcomes and reduces the risk of unintentional extra-temporal cortical injury, which fully embodies the minimally invasive principle in neurosurgery.

Abstract
Keyhole surgery recently evolved as a minimal invasive surgical approach for treatment of anterior circulation aneurysm. This review was done to evaluate the keyhole approach for anterior circulation aneurysms, their indications, advantages, technical limitations, complications and their avoidance. The literature review was performed with the phrase "keyhole approach for anterior circulation aneurysm" as a search term in PubMed central, Medline, Google scholar and Embase data base to identify all the articles published till December 2020. Out of 113 articles searched, 22 were included in this review after screening for eligibility. On analyzing these articles, there was total 2058 aneurysm in 1871 patients. Out of 2058 aneurysm, 988 were ruptured and 547 unruptured. In 5 studies, which include 344 aneurysms in 344 cases, aneurysm ruptured or unruptured status was not specified. The most frequent aneurysm site was anterior communicating artery (n=573). The size of the aneurysm mentioned in most of the study was <15 mm. The rate of complete occlusion was ranged from 93.6-100%. The range of intra operative rupture (IOR) was 0-28.6%. The mean operative time was ranged from 70 min-5.34 hours as reported in 13 studies. Good outcome [Glasgow outcome scale (GOS): 4-5] were seen in 75-100% cases. The frontalis muscle weakness has been reported in 3 studies and ranged from 0-1.99%. Keyhole surgery can be a safe and effective treatment modality for treatment of a selected anterior circulation aneurysm. In the experienced hand it has certain advantages over standard pterional craniotomy.

Resection of Tumors Located in the Anterior Skull Base and Sellar Region Through the Supraorbital Keyhole Approach via a Forehead Wrinkle Incision: Modifications and Deficiencies. J Craniofac Surg 2022; 33:1829-1834. [PMID: 35119416 DOI: 10.1097/scs.0000000000008497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 01/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical effect of the supraorbital keyhole approach (SKA) via a forehead wrinkle incision in the resection of tumors in the anterior skull base and sellar region. METHODS Sixty patients with tumors located in the anterior skull base and sellar region treated through the SKA in our hospital from 2017 to 2020. The skin incision and bone flap position were designed individually according to the size and growth of the tumor. The clinical data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Based on the feasibility of this surgical approach, personalized skin incisions and bone flaps were designed for different lesions. Among the 60 patients, gross total resection was achieved in 53 cases (88.3%), for meningiomas 97.8% (46/47) and near-total resection in 7 cases (11.7%). In the survey of the patients' scale scores toward skin incision after operation, the "no pain"' level was 90.0% (54/60) and 91.7% (55/60) for the level of "very satisfactory"' of the aesthetic of the skin incision (as shown in Supplementary Digital Content, Table 2, http://links.lww.com/SCS/D742). Three patients whose satisfaction with the aesthetic of the incision excelled scale 3, suggesting that they were not completely satisfied with the wound healing. No permanent skin incision discomfort was noted during follow-up. There were no surgical deaths. CONCLUSIONS The SKA via forehead wrinkle incision is a flexible and feasible method for tumors near the midline of the anterior skull base and sellar region. However, this approach requires strict preoperative planning, which includes choosing appropriate tumors and applicable forehead wrinkles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supraorbital eyebrow keyhole craniotomy is a minimally invasive alternative to a frontotemporal craniotomy and is often used for tumor resection and aneurysm clipping. The purpose of this study is to provide a contemporary review on the outcomes related to this approach and to determine whether they vary with the type of pathology and the addition of an endoscope. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases were systematically searched, and results were reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. For the meta-analysis portion, the DerSimonian-Laird random effects model was used. RESULTS A total of 2629 manuscripts were identified. of those, 124 studies (8241 surgical cases) met the inclusion criteria. Mean total complication rate was 26.7 ± 25.7% and the mean approach-related mortality rate was 1.3 ± 2.8%. Technical success, defined as gross total tumor resection or complete aneurysm clipping, was achieved in 83.6 ± 21.5% of the cases. Vascular pathologies were associated with greater technical success, lower total complications, and longer length of hospital stay compared with tumor cases (P < 0.05 for all). For vascular cases, addition of the endoscope yielded lower technical success (P = 0.001) and lower complication rate (P = 0.041). The use of the endoscope for tumor pathologies did not affect technical success, complications, mortality, length of hospital stay, operative time, or reoperation rate (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The supraorbital craniotomy via an eyebrow incision is a feasible minimally invasive approach with an overall high technical success rate for both vascular and tumor pathologies.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The supraorbital craniotomy through an eyebrow incision, referred to as the suprabrow approach, may be used to access intracranial lesions. Though offering good surgical exposure for anterior base cranial lesions, the suprabrow approach has a paucity of studies on its cosmetic outcomes. In this study, we aimed to assess the cosmetic outcomes of suprabrow approach using validated Scar Cosmesis Assessment Rating (SCAR) scale for the first time. Three patients underwent a suprabrow approach for resection of a suprasellar or frontal mass. Their postoperative courses were followed, with specific attention to the cosmetic outcome of their procedures. The SCAR scale was used to determine the cosmetic success of the approach. We found that all 3 patients scored ≤ 5 on the SCAR scale. All 3 resections were successful with no major postoperative complications. The only minor complication was transient hypoesthesia of the ipsilateral forehead that was noted in all 3 patients.This study quantified the positive cosmetic outcomes of a minimally invasive suprabrow approach. The suprabrow approach provides acceptable surgical exposure and access in an appropriately selected patient with anterior cranial base lesions and results in favorable cosmesis. Although transient hypoesthesia in the distribution of the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve occurs, the overall benefits of the approach and desirable cosmetic outcomes make the suprabrow approach a good technique to access intracranial lesions in appropriate cases.

Esthetics outcomes in patients submitted to pterional craniotomy and its variants: A scoping review. Surg Neurol Int 2021; 12:461. [PMID: 34621576 PMCID: PMC8492413 DOI: 10.25259/sni_485_2021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Highly performed nowadays, the pterional craniotomy (PC) has several widespread variants. However, these procedures are associated with complications such as temporalis muscle atrophy, facial nerve frontal branch damage, and masticatory difficulties. The postoperative cranial aesthetic is, nonetheless, the main setback according to patients. This review aims to map different pterional approaches focusing on final aesthetics. Methods: This review follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. Studies were classified through the Oxford method. We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from January 1969 to February 2021 for cohorts and randomized clinical trials that met our inclusion criteria. Results: 1484 articles were initially retrieved from the databases. 1328 articles did not fit the inclusion criteria. 118 duplicates were found. 38 studies were found eligible for the established criteria. 27 (71.05%) were retrospective cohorts, with low evidence level. Only 5 (13.15%) clinical trials were found eligible to the criteria. The majority of the studies (36/38) had the 2B OXFORD evidence level. A limited number of studies addressed cosmetic outcomes and patient satisfaction. The temporal muscle atrophy or temporal hollowing seems to be the patient’s main complaint. Only 17 (44.73%) studies addressed patient satisfaction regarding the aesthetics, and only 10 (26.31%) of the studies reported the cosmetic outcome as a primary outcome. Nevertheless, minimally invasive approaches appear to overcome most cosmetic complaints and should be performed whenever possible. Conclusion: There are several variants of the classic PC. The esthetic outcomes are poorly evaluated. The majority of the studies were low evidence articles.

A Surgeon's Transition Phase Comparative Study. J Neurosci Rural Pract 2021; 12:512-517. [PMID: 34295105 PMCID: PMC8289527 DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1727301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background
Comparative studies between standard pterional and supraorbital keyhole approaches for aneurysms had potential biases with the heterogeneity of patient selection, differences among surgeons, or varying expertise across the surgeon’s learning curve. This is a study of a surgeon’s transition from pterional to keyhole approach for early clipping of selected consecutive ruptured anterior circulation aneurysms.
Methods
Patients more than 18 years, presenting within 72 hours of ictus, in good clinical grades 1 to 3, no midline shift, with saccular aneurysms less than 25 mm at either communicating segment of internal carotid artery, anterior communicating artery, or middle cerebral artery segment till bifurcation were studied between the last 25 cases of pterional and first 25 cases of the keyhole, for the intraoperative and postoperative surgical outcome parameters.
Results
There was no significant difference among baseline parameters, including the location of aneurysms across both groups. While only four cases of pterional had an intraoperative ventricular puncture, the lumbar drain was electively inserted in all keyhole patients. The intraoperative parameters, such as a dural tear, adequate parent vessel exposure, temporary clipping, and intraoperative rupture, did not show any significant difference. None had immediate postoperative deficits. While delayed cerebral ischemia and wound complaints were similar in both groups, temporal hollowing and chewing difficulty were significantly more in pterional patients(
p
= 0.01).
Conclusion
A surgeon experienced in pterional approach can comfortably and safely shift to the keyhole for early clipping of selected ruptured aneurysms less than 25 mm, with a comparable surgical outcome but better cosmesis and mastication.

Comparative study between minimally invasive supraorbital craniotomy and pterional craniotomy for treating anterior circulation cerebral aneurysms in a low-resource setting. Sci Rep 2021; 11:5555. [PMID: 33692472 PMCID: PMC7946868 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-85115-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2020] [Accepted: 02/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
The challenges encountered in performing minimally invasive approaches, such as supraorbital minicraniotomy (SOMC), in services without adequate equipment are rarely reported in the literature. This study analyzes the viability of SOMC in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms, using exactly the same resources as pterional craniotomy (PC). The results of these two techniques are compared. 35 patients underwent SOMC, compared to 50 patients underwent CP (100 aneurysms in total), using the same microsurgical instruments. The following variables were compared: operative time, angiographic cure, length of intensive care unit stay during the post-operative period, surgical complications, length of hospital stay after surgery until hospital discharge, intraoperative aneurysm rupture, aesthetic satisfaction with the scar, and neurological status at discharge. SOMC had a significantly shorter operative time in relation to PC (213.9 ± 11.09 min and 268.6 ± 15.44 min, respectively) (p = 0.0081).With respect to the cosmetic parameters assessed by the Visual Analog Scale, the average for SOMC was 94.12 ± 1.92 points, and the average for PC was 83.57 ± 4.75 points (p = 0.036). SOMC was as effective as PC in relation to successful aneurysm clipping (p = 0.77). The SOMC technique did not show advantages over PC in any other variable. Even in a general neurosurgery service lacking a specific structure for minimally invasive surgeries, SOMC was feasible and effective for treating intracranial aneurysms, using the same set of microsurgical instruments used for PC, obtaining better results in operating time and cosmetic satisfaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Olfactory groove meningiomas (OGMs) are commonly treated with open craniotomy. Endonasal approaches have also been described. OBJECTIVE To present clinical and radiographic outcomes for the minimally invasive eyebrow incision supraorbital keyhole approach with endoscopic assistance for OGMs. METHODS We performed a retrospective single-center cohort study and a systematic literature review. RESULTS Fifteen patients were identified, all with Grade I meningiomas. Radiographic gross total resection of enhancing tumor was achieved in all patients. Mean frontal lobe fluid-attenuated inversion recovery volume decreased from 11.1 ± 18.3 cm3 preoperatively to 9.9 ± 11.4 cm3 immediately postoperatively, and there was minimal new restricted diffusion (3.2 ± 2.2 cm3; max 7.5 cm3). Median length of stay was 3 days (range 2-8). Vision was improved in 4 (80%) and stable in 1 (20%) of 5 patients with a preoperative deficit. New postoperative anosmia occurred in 3 (23%) of 13 patients with any preoperative olfaction. All patients were satisfied with their cosmetic result at 3 months. After a median follow-up of 32.2 months, there were 2 (13.3%) asymptomatic radiographic recurrences, 1 treated with radiosurgery and the other with endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA). No patients required further craniotomy. Systematic review revealed the present series to be the largest to date reporting disaggregated outcomes for the eyebrow approach to OGM. CONCLUSION The eyebrow incision supraorbital keyhole craniotomy with endoscopic assistance is a safe and effective approach to OGM with tumor control rates similar to more invasive open approaches and better than the endonasal approach. Rates of frontal lobe injury, CSF leak and anosmia are comparatively low.

Abstract
The mortality and disability rate of patients with ruptured anterior communicating artery (AComA) aneurysm after bleeding is high. Even with the most advanced treatment methods, the incidence of complications remains high. The purpose of the present study was to determine the efficacy of microsurgery via supraorbital eyebrow keyhole approach (SOEK) in clipping ruptured AComA aneurysms. Between September 2010 and October 2018, 543 patients with intracranial aneurysms were admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University (Guangzhou, China). Among them, 85 patients with ruptured AComA aneurysm and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) underwent microsurgical clipping via the SOEK approach. In those patients, the clipping rate, complications and clinical efficacy of treatment were evaluated. The average age of the patients was 52.69±9.94 years (range, 28-78 years). The proportions of small, medium and large aneurysms were 83.5, 15.3 and 1.2%, respectively. Procedural complications occurred in 9 cases (10.5%). The occlusion rate of the aneurysms was 98.8%. The average follow-up period was 37.9 (±24.5) months. A total of 81.2% of the patients with SAH had a good clinical prognosisat 1 year (modified Rankin scale score, ≤2). In conclusion, for a skilled and experienced surgeon, SOEK was indicated to be a safe procedure for the treatment of ruptured AComA aneurysms; it provided sufficient intra-operative exposure and a high clipping rate.

Comparative Analysis of Pterional, Supraorbital, Extended Supraorbital, and Transtubercular-Transplanum Approaches for Exposing the Anterior Communicating Artery Complex: A Cadaveric Study. World Neurosurg 2020; 141:e576-e588.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to quantify and compare surgical exposure and freedom at the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) complex using pterional (PT), supraorbital (SO), extended supraorbital withorbital osteotomy (SOO), and endonasal endoscopic transtubercular-transplanum (EEATT) approaches. METHODS Right-sided PT, SO, SOO, and EEATT approaches were performed using 10 cadaveric heads. Surgical exposure and freedom (horizontal and vertical attack angle) at the ACoA complex were measured. The farthest clipping distance from ACoA to A1 (precommunicating segment of the anterior cerebral artery)/A2 (postcommunicating segment of the anterior cerebral artery) was also quantified. RESULTS There was a significantly greater exposure length of right A1 in the PT approach (12.20 ± 2.48 mm) compared with the EEATT approach (9.52 ± 2.09 mm; P = 0.029). Among the 4 approaches, EEATT provided the shortest clipping distance for right A1 (6.56 ± 1.33 mm; P = 0.001) and the longest clipping distance for right A2 (3.36 ± 1.24 mm; P = 0.003). SO, SOO, and PT approaches (2.9 ± 0.9) had more observations on perforators from ACoA than did the EEATT approach (2.0 ± 0.66; P = 0.029). The EEATT approach (50.90 ± 17.45 mm2) provided better exposure of the superior part of the ACoA complex compared with the SO approach (29.37 ± 17.27 mm2; P = 0.05). PT and SOO approaches provided the greatest horizontal (36.88° ± 5.85°) and vertical (19.37° ± 4.70°) attack angle, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The SO, SOO, and PT approaches provided a better hemilateral view of the ACoA complex and similar surgical exposure, whereas the EEATT approach offered greater exposure in the upper part of the ACoA complex, with relatively limited exposure of perforators from ACoA and surgical freedom. The EEATT approach can play a role in exposure of lesion involving the ACoA complex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive craniotomy (MIC) for ruptured aneurysm remains a debatable issue because of unclear information regarding its safety and efficacy compared with standard approaches. Here, we compared the outcomes between MIC and pterional craniotomy (PTC) for the treatment of ruptured anterior circulation aneurysms. METHODS A database of patients with ruptured anterior circulation aneurysm who were treated with surgical clipping was reviewed. With the use of propensity score matching to balance the baseline characteristics of MIC and PTC groups, outcomes of the 2 groups were compared. Clinical predictors of favorable outcomes (modified Rankin scale score 0-2) were evaluated by using uni- and multivariate analyses. RESULTS A total of 102 matched pairs were identified. MIC resulted in a significantly shorter operative time (2.8 ± 0.9 vs. 4.2 ± 0.7 hours; P = 0.004) and hospital stay (14.2 ± 5.9 vs. 19.2 ± 9.1 days; P < 0.001), respectively. Both MIC and PTC had similar mortality and complication rates except for the incidences of intracranial hemorrhage (2% vs. 9.8%; P = 0.039) and brain injury (9.8% vs. 27.5%; P = 0.036), respectively. Use of MIC instead of standard surgery and lower World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade and absence of hydrocephalus were significant predictors of favorable outcome at 1 month, whereas higher WFNS grade and higher Fisher grade were significantly associated with a poor outcome at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS For the treatment of ruptured anterior circulation aneurysms, MIC was comparable with PTC and presented additional advantage in terms of earlier recovery. Therefore, MIC can be considered an alternative surgical treatment in this setting.

Abstract
For surgical minimalism to reduce iatrogenic traumatization, a supraorbital keyhole approach has already been successfully applied to treat many unruptured anterior circulation aneurysms. However, using this minimal approach also raises several technical concerns due to the small cranial opening and cosmetic impact of a facial incision. Yet, such technical limitations can be overcome by using favorable surgical indications, slender surgical instruments, and optimized surgical techniques, while excellent cosmetic outcomes can be achieved using a short skin incision located <1 cm from the supraorbital margin, reconstruction of any bone defects around the bone flap, and meticulous wound closure. Thus, given such reassuring surgical results, in terms of the clipping status, neurological effects, and cosmetic outcomes, any concerns can be transitioned into confidence.
