Journal ArticleDOI
Endoscope-assisted endonasal versus supraorbital keyhole resection of olfactory groove meningiomas: comparison and combination of 2 minimally invasive approaches
Matei A. Banu,Alpesh Mehta,Malte Ottenhausen,Justin F. Fraser,Kunal S. Patel,Oszkar Szentirmai,Vijay K. Anand,Apostolos John Tsiouris,Theodore H. Schwartz +8 more
TL;DR: The supraorbital eyebrow approach, with endoscopic assistance, leads to a higher extent of resection and lower rate of complications than the purely endonasal endoscopic approach, and may be suitable for a small percentage of cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Case-specific protocol to reduce cerebrospinal fluid leakage after endonasal endoscopic surgery
Kunal S. Patel,Ricardo J. Komotar,Oszkar Szentirmai,Nelson Moussazadeh,Daniel M.S. Raper,Robert M. Starke,Vijay K. Anand,Theodore H. Schwartz +7 more
TL;DR: It is possible to achieve a CSF leak rate of 0% by using the Cornell closure protocol, and with proper experience, endoscopic skull base surgery should not be considered to have a higher CSF leaks rate than open transcranial or microscopic transsphenoidal surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity and specificity of intrathecal fluorescein and white light excitation for detecting intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak in endoscopic skull base surgery: a prospective study
Shaan M. Raza,Matei A. Banu,Angela M. Donaldson,Kunal S. Patel,Vijay K. Anand,Theodore H. Schwartz +5 more
TL;DR: ITF is extremely specific and very sensitive for detecting intraoperative CSF leaks and may help surgeons prevent postoperativeCSF leaks by intraoperatively detecting and confirming a watertight repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical outcomes using a medial-to-lateral endonasal endoscopic approach to pituitary adenomas invading the cavernous sinus.
Graeme F. Woodworth,Kunal S. Patel,Benjamin J. Shin,Jan-Karl Burkhardt,Apostolos John Tsiouris,Edward D. McCoul,Vijay K. Anand,Theodore H. Schwartz +7 more
TL;DR: Although rates of gross-total resection are moderate, particularly in the lateral CS, the risk of permanent cranial neuropathy is extremely low and there is a high chance of improvement of preexisting deficits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term quality of life after endonasal endoscopic resection of adult craniopharyngiomas
Kunal S. Patel,Shaan M. Raza,Edward D. McCoul,Aikaterini Patrona,Jeffrey P. Greenfield,Mark M. Souweidane,Vijay K. Anand,Theodore H. Schwartz +7 more
TL;DR: This report of validated site-specific QOL following endonasal endoscopic pituitary macroadenoma resection for craniopharyngiomas shows an overall maintenance of postoperative compared with preoperative QOL.
