The anatomical dissection was documented in stepwise three-dimensional (3D) endoscopic images. Following dissection, representative case applications were reviewed.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003EEA to the orbit provides excellent access to the medial and inferior orbital regions. Key steps include positioning and preoperative considerations, middle turbinate medialization, uncinate process and ethmoid bulla removal, complete ethmoidectomy, sphenoidotomy, maxillary antrostomy, lamina papyracea resection, orbital apex and optic canal decompression, orbital floor resection, periorbita opening, dissection of the extraconal fat, and final exposure of the orbit contents via the medial-inferior recti corridor.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003EEA to the orbit is challenging, in particular for trainees unfamiliar with nasal and paranasal sinus anatomy. Operatively oriented neuroanatomy dissections are crucial didactic resources in preparation for practical endonasal applications in the operating room (OR). This approach provides optimal exposure to the inferior and medial orbit to treat a wide variety of pathologies. We describe a comprehensive step-by-step curriculum directed to any audience willing to master this endoscopic skull base approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1723-1675","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,17]],"date-time":"2021-12-17T01:36:41Z","timestamp":1639705001000},"page":"079-088","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Anatomical Step-by-Step Dissection of Complex Skull Base Approaches for Trainees: Endoscopic Endonasal Approach to the Orbit"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"84","author":[{"given":"Laura","family":"Salgado-Lopez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York, United States"},{"name":"Department of Neuroscience and Experimental Therapeutics, Northeast Skull Base Dissection Laboratory, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York, United States"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8066-4055","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luciano C.
