This study aims to validate the feasibility of endoscopic endonasal resection of lesions with a posterolateral invasion. As a secondary goal, the study intends to propose a classification system of endoscopic endonasal nasopharyngectomy determined by the depth of posterolateral invasion.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003Eight cadaveric specimens (16 sides) underwent progressive nasopharyngectomy using an endoscopic endonasal approach. Resection of the torus tubarius, Eustachian tube (ET), medial pterygoid plate and muscle, lateral nasal wall, and lateral pterygoid plate and muscle were sequentially performed to expose the fossa of Rosenm\u00fcller, petroclival region, parapharyngeal space (PPS), and jugular foramen, respectively.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Technical feasibility of endonasal nasopharyngectomy toward a posterolateral direction was validated in all 16 sides. Nasopharyngectomy was classified into four types as follows: (1) type 1: resection restricted to the posterior or superior nasopharynx; (2) type 2: resection includes the torus tubarius which is suitable for lesions extended into the petroclival region; (3) type 3: resection includes the distal cartilaginous ET, medial pterygoid plate, and muscle, often required for lesions extending laterally into the PPS; And (4) type 4: resection includes the lateral nasal wall, pterygoid plates and muscles, and all the cartilaginous ET. This extensive resection is required for lesions involving the carotid artery or extending to the jugular foramen region.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Selected lesions with posterolateral invasion into the PPS or jugular foramen is amenable to a resection via expanded endonasal approach. Classification of nasopharyngectomy based on tumor depth of posterolateral invasion helps to plan a surgical approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1735557","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,29]],"date-time":"2021-09-29T22:47:52Z","timestamp":1632955672000},"page":"e537-e544","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"special_numbering":"S","title":["An
