Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traditional large craniotomies have been the standard for aneurysm surgery. However, minimally invasive "keyhole" approaches have gained popularity for aneurysm clipping in recent years. This study focuses on Supra-Orbital Keyhole Approach (SOKHA),its use in clipping of aneurysms of the anterior Circle of Willis. Here we share the experiences of a tertiary care center regarding aneurysm clipping using SOKHA. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 166 cases involving aneurysm clipping, with 62 patients undergoing SOKHA and 104 patients undergoing the pterional approach. Factors evaluated included patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, incidence of intraoperative complications, temporary-clipping usage, and postoperative clinical outcomes. Glasgow Outcome Scale scores were utilized to assess clinical outcomes. RESULTS The study found that both the SOKHA and pterional approaches were similar in terms of age distribution, Hunt and Hess grades, and the incidence of hydrocephalus. The majority of aneurysms in both groups were anterior communicating artery aneurysms.Hydrocephalus was observed in 14.5 % of SOKHA cases and 13.5 % of pterional cases. Intraoperative aneurysm rupture occurred in 8.1 % of SOKHA cases and 7.7 % of pterional cases. There were no mortalities in the SOKHA group, while the pterional group had 1.92 % mortality rate. At the last follow-up, 77.4 % of SOKHA cases and 75.9 % of pterional cases had a favorable outcome (Glasgow Outcome Scale IV and V), with no significant difference. CONCLUSION SOKHA offers the advantage of potential cosmetic benefit with neurological outcomes comparable to those of the traditional pterional approach, in properly selected patients.

J Neurol Surg B Skull Base 2023; 84:470-498. [PMID: 37671300 PMCID: PMC10477017 DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1755575] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022] Open
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
Background The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy, safety, and outcomes of the endoscopic supraorbital approach and frontotemporal approach for the treatment of traumatic frontal hematoma, with the aim of demonstrating the feasibility of the endoscopic supraorbital approach. Methods A total of 24 cases underwent hematoma evacuation, including 10 cases using the endoscopic supraorbital approach and 14 cases using the frontotemporal approach. Baseline demographic data, hematoma clearance rate, blood loss, postoperative complications, and 6-month outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Results Both approaches effectively evacuated the hematoma, with hematoma clearance rates of 90.97 ± 10.23% in the endoscopic supraorbital group and 85.29 ± 16.15% in the frontotemporal approach group (p > 0.05). The supraorbital approach group demonstrated significantly shorter operation times compared to the frontotemporal approach group (116.50 ± 28.19 min vs. 193.29 ± 72.55 min, p < 0.05), as well as significantly less blood loss (55.00 ± 33.08 mL vs. 685.71 ± 840.20 mL, p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of postoperative complications between the two groups, and the majority of patients achieved favorable outcomes with a Glasgow Outcome Scale score of 4 or 5 in both groups. Conclusion Compared to the frontotemporal approach, the endoscopic supraorbital approach offers advantages such as shorter operation times, reduced blood loss, similar treatment effects, and comparable complication rates. Therefore, the endoscopic supraorbital approach may serve as a viable alternative for the treatment of traumatic frontal hematoma.

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 Supraorbital keyhole craniotomy is a minimally invasive approach used to access the parasellar region with advantages of decreased cortical exposure, simple closure, and decreased risk of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak. The incision of this approach, however, has raised cosmetic concerns, especially for pediatric patients. The aim of this study is to assess postoperative complications and cosmeses of the supraorbital keyhole approach for resection of intracranial lesions in pediatric patients. METHODS A literature search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases was performed on June 1, 2021, searching for all studies of pediatric patients undergoing supraorbital keyhole craniotomy for surgical resection of lesions in the anterior fossa/sellar region. RESULTS Of 729 unique hits, 15 supraorbital keyhole studies reporting on 177 pediatric cases were included in the final review. Quality of all included studies was moderate. Overall, the surgery was well tolerated with a low number of severe adverse events. A wide variety of pathologies were treated with this approach. Complications of surgery included changes in vision, epidural hematoma, subdural hematoma, cerebrospinal fluid leak, and wound infection. At 6 weeks of follow-up, surgical scars in most patients were noted to be minimally detectable. At 3-6 months of follow-up, scars were no longer visible. Cosmetic complications included 5 bone defects, 1 split eyebrow, and 1 case of ptosis. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that supraorbital keyhole craniotomy is a safe and effective approach to access the parasellar region in pediatric patients with excellent cosmetic outcomes reported across multiple institutions.

Abstract
Background Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a serious disease. Analyze and review the cases of anterior circulation ruptured IA by supraorbital lateral keyhole approach, and summarize the experiences of this approach. Methods Retrospective analysis of 16 cases of ruptured anterior circulation IA in our department from January 2019 to June 2020, CT angiography (CTA) was performed before operation. Analyzing the IA’s parameters by 3D-CT reconstruction. The IA was clipped by supraorbital lateral keyhole approach combined with the 3D-skull reconstruction. Extraventricular drainage was performed before craniotomy. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring was performed during the operation. After operation, fluorescein angiography and vascular ultrasound were performed to check the clipping effect. Intracranial pressure monitor was performed postoperatively. CTA was reexamined one week after operation. The modified Rankin Scale (MRS) was performed 6 months after operation. Results There were 7 males (43.8%) and 9 females (56.2%), and the average age is 52.31 ± 11.12 years old. Among them, 11 patients (68.8%) were anterior communicating artery aneurysms and 5 (31.2%) were middle cerebral artery aneurysms. All patients were out of hospital within 10 days without any death, without cerebral infarction, cerebrospinal fluid leakage and neurological impairments. About mRS score, after 6 months follow-up, 8 cases (50%) had 0 point, 4 cases (25%) had 1 point, and 4 cases (25%) had 2 points. Conclusions For ruptured anterior circulation IA, the supraorbital lateral keyhole approach combined with ventricular drainage, intraoperative electrophysiological monitoring, and intraoperative vascular ultrasound is a safe and minimally invasive treatment. The application of reconstruction clipping can reconstruct the diameter of parent vessel and reduce the recurrence rate of IA.

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
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
The supraorbital eyebrow approach (SEa) has been commonly used as a straightforward route to reach lesions located in the anterior cranial fossa. The reduced surgical exposure provided by this approach limits its applicability. A modification of the SEa, the extended supraorbital eyebrow approach (X-SEa), allows use of the transylvian corridor to approach parasellar lesions, while maintaining most of the aesthetic advantages of the SEa. To quantify the surgical exposure and maneuverability provided by the X-SEa using a cadaveric study. Eleven heads were used to obtain all stereotactic measurements. Surgical exposure and maneuverability were measured by means of the area of exposure and the angles of attack along key representative points in the anterior circulation. The horizontal angle of attack at the middle cerebral artery provided by the X-SEa was larger than that provided by the SEa (32.6 vs 18.4°, p = 0.009). The X-SEa afforded broader vertical angles of attack at all targets in the anterior circulation (p < 0.05). The total area of exposure provided by the X-SEa was significantly larger than that provided by the SEa (1272 vs 978 ± 156 mm2, p = 0.003). The area of exposure in the ipsilateral trigon and in the midline quadrangle was also significantly larger for the X-SEa (paramedian 195 vs 121 mm2, p = 0.01; midline 1310 vs 778 mm2, p = 0.002). The X-SEa increases the exposure and surgical maneuverability along the anterior and middle cranial fossa when compared to the standard SEa.
