The authors successfully removed a giant cell tumor in the infratemporal fossa using an infratemporal fossa approach after selectively embolizing the MMA during transfemoral carotid angiography. The embolized MMA served as a surgical landmark, helping to confirm the tumor’s posterior boundary and minimizing bleeding during surgery.
This study aimed to describe operative techniques using rigid bronchoscopy and ferromagnetic bronchoscopic equipment to retrieve magnetic foreign bodies in distal tertiary bronchi beyond the reach of traditional optical instrumentation.
The authors present a simple and innovative BSR simulator model. The BSR simulator is evaluated by sialendoscopy trainees to ensure its realism and efficiency.
Authors describe a case in which a high-riding innominate artery was identified within the surgical trajectory moments before incision, which ultimately necessitated airway securement using an alternative laryngological procedure.
The butterfly graft (BFG) is a surgical technique used to treat nasal airway obstruction by reconstructing the internal nasal valve, but it can lead to external nasal contour irregularities. This study evaluates a secondary contouring procedure designed to address these irregularities while preserving nasal function and improving patient satisfaction.
In endoscopic endonasal surgery for anterior skull base lesions, maximizing the anterior sphenoidotomy in the superior part is crucial for ensuring direct visualization and creating a wide working corridor. Authors describe a technique they devised that maximizes upper anterior sphenoidotomy while preserving the olfactory mucosa.
