Cadaveric Study of an Endoscopic Keyhole Middle Fossa Craniotomy Approach to the Superior Semicircular Canal

Abstract

The endoscopic keyhole approach to superior semicircular canal dehiscence is technically feasible in a human cadaveric model. Further studies will determine 1) if this approach is possible and safe in vivo, 2) is associated with improved surgical outcomes, and 3) if surgical navigation aids in this approach.
