Orbitozygomatic Approach

  • Chapter
Book cover Cranial, Craniofacial and Skull Base Surgery

Abstract

The orbitozygomatic (OZ) approach is an extension of the basic frontotemporal (FT) approach, which is associated with an OZ osteotomy and eventually with zygomatic arch resection. We emphasize that the basic FT approach, for us as for other authors, always includes resection of the sphenoid bridge (frontotemporopterional craniotomy).
