In such cases, the authors perform extradural anterior clinoidectomy with peeling of the temporal dura propria from the periosteal dura and inner cavernous membrane around the superior orbital fissure, with the incision of the dura mater stretching from the base of the temporal side to just before the distal dural ring of the ICA (termed by the authors as the sphenoparietal sinus transposition [SPST] technique). This technique displaces the bridging segment of the sylvian vein posteriorly and enables widening of the surgical space without venous injury. In this study, the authors observed the operative nuances and investigated the usefulness of this technique.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n METHODS<\/jats:title>\n The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 66 consecutive patients with ICA-PCoA and BX aneurysms between January 2016 and July 2018. This technique was performed in 8 patients (5 patients with PCoA aneurysms and 3 with BX aneurysms) in whom the bridging segments of the sylvian veins between the brain and the skull base restricted brain retraction for widening of the surgical space. The surface areas of the lateral retrocarotid space and the aneurysm were measured at the most visible working angle before and after the SPST technique was performed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n \n With the use of the SPST technique, an adequate surgical space for aneurysm clipping was obtained with preservation of the bridging veins in all patients. The mean surface areas of the lateral retrocarotid space (p = 0.002) and aneurysm (p = 0.001) were significantly increased from 18.3 \u00b1 18.8 and 2.8 \u00b1 2.5 cm\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n before to 64.2 \u00b1 21.1 and 20.9 \u00b1 20.6 cm\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n , respectively, after the SPST technique was performed.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n The SPST technique enables displacement of the bridging segments of the sylvian veins without venous injury and enables widening of the surgical space around the lateral retrocarotid area.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2020.1.jns192823","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,20]],"date-time":"2020-03-20T21:57:43Z","timestamp":1584741463000},"page":"999-1005","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Sphenoparietal sinus transposition technique: optimization of the surgical corridor with preservation of prominent bridging veins between the brain and the cranial base during aneurysm clipping via the pterional approach"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"134","author":[{"given":"Takeya","family":"Niibo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asahikawa Red Cross Hospital, Asahikawa; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katsumi","family":"Takizawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asahikawa Red Cross Hospital, Asahikawa; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jurou","family":"Sakurai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asahikawa Red Cross Hospital, Asahikawa; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seizi","family":"Takebayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asahikawa Red Cross Hospital, Asahikawa; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroyasu","family":"Koizumi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asahikawa Red Cross Hospital, Asahikawa; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toru","family":"Kobayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asahikawa Red Cross Hospital, Asahikawa; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rina","family":"Kobayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asahikawa Red Cross Hospital, Asahikawa; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kouta","family":"Kuris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asahikawa Red Cross Hospital, Asahikawa; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Syusuke","family":"Gotou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asahikawa Red Cross Hospital, Asahikawa; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryousuke","family":"Tsuchiya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Asahikawa Red Cross Hospital, Asahikawa; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroyasu","family":"Kamiyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Sapporo Teishinkai Hospital, Sapporo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"b1","series-title":"Neurosurgery","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"285","DOI":"10.1227\/NEU.0b013e318256c3eb","article-title":"Advanced technical skills are required for microsurgical clipping of posterior communicating artery aneurysms in the endovascular era","volume":"71","author":"Sanai N","year":"2012","unstructured":"Sanai N, Caldwell N, Englot DJ, Lawton MT.
