Single piece FTOZ craniotomy is no more difficult than two or three piece craniotomy, rather it facilitates a rapid craniotomy closure with excellent handling of single piece of bone. It provides a wide, multidirectional access to skull base. Lesions become shallow and their access easier. Benefits far outweigh the difficulties if any, and its use should be encouraged even at centres outside of the specialised units.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
