JIMENEZ TORRES, Mario Jorge  and  TORREJON LOPEZ, Rene. TRANSCILIARY MINI-SUPRAORBITAL CRANIOTOMY FOR LESIONS OF SELLAR REGION. Rev. Méd. La Paz [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.1, pp.15-28. ISSN 1726-8958.

The evolution of microsurgical techniques has allowed access transcranial become increasingly smaller so that the operative time, hospital stay and costs are lower, also the aesthetic satisfaction of patients is thus greater accessibility to accept the same surgical behavior is increased. The present study shows ourinitial experience performing Mini-supraorbital craniotomy to access lesions of the sellar region. We included 12 patients corresponding to 20% of patients operated on for lesions in the sellar region in the last two years, in which the monitoring was frankly favorable GOS yield a high (5) in 92% of cases and failure to submit related complications during surgery in 92% of cases. Reports in the literature and the results obtained by our team, show that the Mini-supraorbital craniotomy access is to be borne in mind when planning surgical pathologies of the sellar region.

Keywords : Mini-supraorbital; sellar region.
