Superior Maximization of Sphenoidotomy With Olfaction Preservation in Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery
In endoscopic endonasal surgery for anterior skull base lesions, maximizing the anterior sphenoidotomy in the superior part is crucial for direct visualization and creating a wide working corridor. Here, we describe a technique we devised that maximizes upper anterior sphenoidotomy while preserving the olfactory mucosa. Laryngoscope, 135:1674-1678, 2025.
