Impact of Sigmoid Sinus Anatomy on Assessing the Feasibility of the Retrofacial Access to the Entire Jugular Fossa Before Surgery
Depending on the position of the SS and the horizontal angle of access, mTEIER-A provides sufficient retrofacial access to the lateral aspect of the JF. These findings emphasize the need for precise preoperative planning and suggest that mTEIER-A could minimize the need for more invasive approaches, potentially reducing related morbidity. Further clinical studies are recommended to validate these findings.
