Cadaveric Endoscopic Transmeatal Approach to the Internal Acoustic Canal and the Middle Ear.

The article "Cadaveric Endoscopic Transmeatal Approach to the Internal Acoustic Canal and the Middle Ear" published in the Journal of Neurological Surgery explores the neurosurgical perspective on using endoscopic techniques to access the middle ear and internal acoustic canal. The study documents step-by-step procedures for this approach, including identifying key anatomical landmarks and utilizing high-speed drills to open the internal acoustic canal. The authors successfully performed the endoscopic transmeatal approach, showcasing its potential as a minimally invasive option for certain cases in lateral skull base surgery.
