The Fronto-Temporal-Orbito-Zygomatic Approach: Reconstructive Technique and Outcome

Abstract

Objective: The fronto-temporal-orbito-zygomatic (FTOZ) approach, also known as “the workhorse of skull base surgery,” has captured the interest of many researchers throughout the years. Most of the studies published have focused on the surgical technique and the gained exposure. However, few studies have described reconstructive techniques or functional and cosmetic outcomes. The goal of this study is to describe the surgical reconstruction after the FTOZ approach and analyze the functional and cosmetic outcomes.
