Anatomical landmarks for positioning the head in preparation for the transsphenoidal approach: The spheno-sellar point

The transnasal approach is the most utilized approach to the sellar region. This study was conducted to identify an anatomical landmark on the lateral surface of the head that corresponds to the midpoint of the sellar floor at the level of sphenoidal rostrum. This point, lined up with the nostril, s...

520 3 |a The transnasal approach is the most utilized approach to the sellar region. This study was conducted to identify an anatomical landmark on the lateral surface of the head that corresponds to the midpoint of the sellar floor at the level of sphenoidal rostrum. This point, lined up with the nostril, simulates the surgical path and facilitates the transnasal access to the sella turcica. Four adult, formalin-fixed and silicon-injected cadaveric heads, and ten dried skulls were used for laboratory dissection. The heads and skulls were sectioned along the midline; and the spheno-sellar point, corresponding to the midpoint of the sellar floor at the level of sphenoid rostrum, was determined. The spheno-sellar point was plotted on the lateral surface of the skull, and its position measured relative to the external acoustic meatus. Linking the spheno-sellar point with the nostril created the spheno-nostril line. This line represents the surgical path to be taken for direct access to the sphenoid rostrum, and was used to align the cadaveric heads as in surgery. The endonasal transsphenoidal approach was then utilized in one hundred and two adult patients with sellar lesions, using the spheno-sellar point and the spheno-nostril line as the superficial landmarks to guide the approach. The results of this clinical experience are summarized. The spheno-sellar point was found to be located an average of 40.1mm (SD2.9mm) anterior and 23.3mm (SD3.2mm) superior to the external acoustic meatus. The spheno-nostril line represents the straight surgical path to the sphenoidal rostrum. This landmark was used in 102 correlative transnasal surgeries for sellar lesions of adult patients, and has allowed an easy and straightforward access to the sella. In only 3 cases with poor pneumatisation of the sphenoid sinus (presellar type), the actual location of the surgical instruments had to be confirmed by fluoroscopy. The application of the spheno-sellar point and the spheno-nostril line is a fast, reliable and very simple way to facilitate transsphenoidal surgery, and their use may avoid complications associated with misdirection of this approach. Its use may be limited in cases of poor pneumatisation of the sphenoid sinus, where fluoroscopic guidance could be necessary as a rule.  |l eng
