The mandibular swing-transcervical approach to the skull base: anatomical study. Technical note.

This report describes in a stepwise fashion the surgical anatomy of an approach to the midline and lateral compartments of the skull base (clivus, infralabyrinthine/infratemporal regions). The salient features of this procedure are represented by a mandibulotomy and by detachment of the pharynx from the skull base through a combined oral and cervical approach. There is full neurovascular control of the internal carotid artery and lower cranial nerves with the possibility of complete exposure of the intrapetrous and intracavernous segments of the internal carotid artery on the side of the exposure. This approach, which may be regarded as an expansion of the original work of Krespi, should be considered when dealing aggressively with extensive skull-base lesions invading the midline and lateral compartments of the skull base.[1]
