Frontal and Transbasal Approaches
摘要
The frontal lobe is routinely accessed in neurosurgical practice. It can be used for the treatment of vascular, neoplastic, infectious, functional disorders, and epilepsy. With the patient in the supine position, the skull is secured in a head holder, and adjustments made in flexion and rotation allow the frontal lobe and adjacent structures to be accessed unilaterally or bilaterally, reaching the subfrontal skull base (Fig. 3.1).
