What Is the Definition of Craniotomy?
A craniotomy is a surgical operation used to get access to the brain. This procedure usually entails removing a bone flap from the skull. Craniotomies can be performed to treat a variety of diseases. Craniotomies, for example, may be performed to treat trigeminal neuralgia or hydrocephalus. A neurosurgical operation called an orbitozygomatic craniotomy allows surgeons to access the cranial base while minimizing brain retraction. This approach has two primary variations: increasing operative angles to increase working space. Except for the removal of the orbital roof, the technique is comparable to a traditional craniotomy. The authors offer a more straightforward technique and discuss the indications for the procedure in this study. The orbitozygomatic technique was described for the first time in 1982. Jane and colleagues modified a frontal craniotomy by including the orbital roof and the lateral boundary of the frontal lobe in a bone flap. These modifications made it possible t...
