abstract：:A surgical approach to the skull base is described. It allows excellent exposure of the cranial base with minimal brain retraction. Deep lesions can be handled via subfrontal, transsylvian, or subtemporal routes during the same operation. This approach is most suitable for large lesions in the suprasellar, parasellar,...
