Endoscopic Transorbital Approach for Spheno-Orbital Tumors: Case Series and Systematic Review of Literature

Abstract

Despite its recent introduction, a significant number of spheno-orbital lesions treated with an eTOA are being reported. Its main advantages are favorable patient outcome and optimal cosmetic results, with minimal morbidity and quick recovery. This approach can be combined with other surgical routes or adjuvant therapies for complex tumors. However, it is a technically demanding procedure, requiring specific skills in endoscopic surgery, that should be reserved to dedicated centers.
