What is transzygomatic?

Answer 1

The transzygomatic approach has been utilised to facilitate neurosurgical access to the skull base for a number of years. Advocates of the technique claim the additional access gained provides wider exposure of the neurosurgical pathology and improved visualisation of adjacent vital neurovascular structures.

The aim of this study was to photographically demonstrate the technique and to highlight the anatomical areas to which access can be improved.
