  • Title: [Microsurgical treatment of apical region by combined orbital pterygoid approach].
    Author: Sha C, Xie H, Yang Y.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 2001 Nov; 39(11):855-7. PubMed ID: 11930741.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study microsurgical treatment of orbital apical region tumor by combined orbital pterygoid approach. METHOD: In 21 cases, manifestations and surgical methods were analyzed retrospectively. The surgical approach and procedure were discussed. RESULTS: All the 21 cases were treated by combined orbital pterygoid approach. The tumors were removed completely in 18 cases, and partially resected in 3. There was no death. CONCLUSIONS: This kind of mass is difficult to explore by either transorbital or transcranial approach because of its position. Combined orbital pterygoid approach provides better access and exploration. Appropriate surgical approach, hemostasis and gentle microsurgical manipulation are the key to reducing postoperative complications.
