In the same way, I want to express my thanks to JICA and its office in
Sendai, for my trip to Japan and the publication of the Neurosurgical
Atlas
CAPÍTULOI
ABORDAJE BIFRONTAL
CHAPTER I
BIFRONTAL APPROACH
Fig.1.- PATIENT POSITION
Supine with the jaw slightly up
FIG 2
Fig. 3, 4.- DISSECTION OF THE SKIN FLAP
The skin flap is dissected until the edge of orbit.
FIG 4
Fig. 5.- FIXATION OF THE SKIN FLAP
The skin flap is reflected and fixed to the orbital edge.
Fig.6.- TREPANNING
Four burr holes are drilled and bone is cut with using GIGLI saw. The
distance between the two burr holes along sagital line should not
exceed more than 5 centimeters
Fig.6.-TREPANACION
Son perforados cuatro trépanos, el hueso es cortado mediante el uso de
la sierra de Gigli. La distancia entre los dos trépanos a lo largo de la
línea sagital, no podrá exceder más de 5 centímetros

Fig. 7 .- FRONTAL SINUS TREATMENT (1)
When the frontal sinus is opened, it should be sterilized by
disinfectant solution.
FIG 8
Fig. 9.- FRONTAL SINUS TREATMENT (3)
The mucus membrane is cut and electro coagulated. The left dead
space of the sinus has to be filled with bone dust of craniotomy and
bone wax.
FIG 10
Fig. 11.- CUT FALX AND SUPERIOR SAGITTAL SINUS
Cutting of superior sagittal sinus should be performed at its anterior
part, where the sinus is less developed. The electrocoagulation of
sinus is strongly recommended rather than ligation. Sometimes
bleeding is experimented due to insecurity in the ligation. When
cerebri falx is cut, care should be taken for not damaging frontal lobes.
FIG 12
Fig. 13.- OPENING THE SYLVIAN FISSURE
Dissecting bilaterally the arachnoid membrane of Sylvian fissure is
essential; for exposing the portion of cerebri arteries A1, M1 and M2.
This procedure is performed with low brain pressure.
FIG 14
Fig. 15.- INTERHEMISPHERIC APPROACH (2)
The Interhemispheric fissure is dissected bilaterally along proximal
part of A2 until we reach anterior communicating artery and the
bilateral portions of A1, for finding the optic chiasm.

KEEL-SHAPED INCISION
C A P Í T U L O II
Fig.18.-SKIN INSICION
The Skin incision is done as shown in the figure. It should be noted
that the zygomatic arch is located at the bottom of the incision.
FIG 18
Fig. 19.- SKIN FLAP
The temporal muscle is cut along the skin incision.
FIG 20
Fig. 21.- CRANIECTOMY
The craniectomy is done using Gigli saw.
FIG 22
Fig. 23.- DURAL TENSION
The Dural tension is performed around the craniectomy. The necessity
of this procedure was already mentioned previously.
FIG 24
Fig. 25.- DURAL OPENING
The Dura is opened and reflected with sutures. (This approach is also
very useful for exploring through subtemporal, the artery vertebro-
basilar aneurysms)

CHAPTER III
PTERIONAL APPROACH
C A P Í T U L O III
ABORDAJE PTERIONAL
Fig. 27.- POSITION OF THE PATIENT
In supine position with the head rotated around 50º.
FIG 28
Fig. 29.- SKIN FLAP
The temporal muscle is cutted and dissected into two parts along skin
incision, where are rolled and fixed.
FIG 30
Fig. 31.- CRANIECTOMY (2)
The Sphenoidal wing and the temporal bone should be treated with the
Rounger, out enough, followed by dural tension and fixation.
FIG 33
FIG 32
Fig. 34.- APPROACH TO CHIASMATIC CISTERN
FIG 35
Fig. 36, 37.- APPROACH TO BASILAR SYSTEM
Sometimes it is necessary to open more widely both, carotic and
chiasmatic cistern; for approaching the Basilar arterial system (Fig.
36). So through the medial side of IC, the Liliequist membrane is
opened.

FIG 39
Fig. 40.- FIXATION OF SKIN FLAP
Skin flap is fixed to the skin.
FIG 41
FIG 42
Fig. 43.- DURAL TENSION AND INCISION
The dural tension is performed along the craniectomy and dural
incision is made as shown in the figure.
