EAM was utilized in 16 cases. Fifty\u2010six percent extended lateral to V2 and 56% extended posterior to the maxillary sinus. Complete resection was achieved in 11 patients. There was one unplanned subtotal resection. Radioanatomic measurements demonstrated an increase in the radius of surgical access to the ipsilateral skull base using the EAM when compared with both standard transnasal techniques (33.1\u00b0 vs. 14.8\u00b0; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .0001) and extended approaches removing the nasolacrimal duct (33.1\u00b0 vs. 23.5\u00b0; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001).
