In this paper, the authors analyzed the factors involved in approach selection and reviewed the surgical outcomes in a series of OGMs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective review of 28 consecutive OGMs from a prospective database was conducted. Each tumor was treated via one of 3 approaches: transbasal approach (n = 15), pure endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA; n = 5), and combined (endoscope-assisted) transbasal-EEA (n = 8).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean tumor volume was greatest in the transbasal (92.02 cm\n                      <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) and combined (101.15 cm\n                      <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) groups. Both groups had significant lateral dural extension over the orbits (transbasal 73.3%, p &lt; 0.001; combined 100%), while the transbasal group had the most cerebral edema (73.3%, p &lt; 0.001) and vascular involvement (66.7%, p &lt; 0.001), and the least presence of a cortical cuff (33.3%, p = 0.019). All tumors in the combined group were recurrent tumors that invaded into the sinonasal cavity. The purely EEA group had the smallest mean tumor volume (33.33 cm\n                      <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                      ), all with a cortical cuff and no lateral dural extension. Gross-total resection was achieved in 80% of transbasal, 100% of EEA, and 62.5% of combined cases. Near-total resection (&gt; 95%) was achieved in 20% of transbasal and 37.5% of combined cases, all due to tumor adherence to the critical neurovascular structures. The rate of CSF leakage was 0% in the transbasal and combined groups, and there was 1 leak in the EEA group (20%), resulting in an overall CSF leakage rate of 3.6%. Olfaction was preserved in 66.7% in the transbasal group. There was no significant difference in length of stay or 30-day readmission rate between the 3 groups. The mean modified Rankin Scale score was 0.79 after the transbasal approach, 2.0 after EEA, and 2.4 after the combined approach (p = 0.0604). The mean follow-up was 14.5 months (range 1\u201376 months).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The transbasal approach provided the best clinical outcomes with the lowest rate of complications for large tumors (&gt; 40 mm) and for smaller tumors (&lt; 40 mm) with intact olfaction. The role of EEA appears to be limited to smaller, appropriately selected tumors in which olfaction is already absent. EEA also plays an important adjunctive role when combined with the transbasal approach for recurrent OGMs invading the sinonasal cavity. Careful patient selection using an individualized, tailored strategy is important to optimize surgical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2018.1.focus17722","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,1]],"date-time":"2018-04-01T03:31:08Z","timestamp":1522553468000},"page":"E8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Transbasal versus endoscopic endonasal versus combined approaches for olfactory groove meningiomas: importance of approach selection"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"James K.","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurological Surgery,"},{"name":"Center for Skull Base and Pituitary Surgery, Neurological Institute of New Jersey, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Newark, New Jersey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicole A.","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurological Surgery,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ilesha A.","family":"Sevak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurological Surgery,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean Anderson","family":"Eloy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurological Surgery,"},{"name":"Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"J Neurosurg","first-page":"605","article-title":"Endoscope-assisted endonasal versus supraorbital keyhole resection of olfactory groove meningiomas: comparison and combination of 2 minimally invasive approaches","volume":"124","author":"Banu MA","year":"2016","unstructured":"Banu MA, Mehta A, Ottenhausen M, Fraser JF, Patel KS, Szentirmai O, : Endoscope-assisted endonasal versus supraorbital keyhole resection of olfactory groove meningiomas: comparison and combination of 2 minimally invasive approaches.
