Let me tell you, folks, we’ve got something incredible here. We’re talking about the future of surgery with this preoperative simulation for the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA). It’s like nothing you’ve seen before. We’re using the best of the best – computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This isn’t just good; it’s phenomenal. We’re evaluating tumor extension, checking out how it’s mingling with the pituitary stalk, major vessels, and cranial nerves. It’s all about making sure we know what we’re dealing with before we go in.

And let me tell you, the planning – it’s top-notch. We’re talking nasal procedures, skull base bony removal, cranial base reconstruction – the works. It’s like having a roadmap to success. And the cherry on top? Three-dimensional (3D) fusion images. These aren’t your average images; they help surgeons see the game in 3D before they even make the first move. It’s game-changing.

Now, I won’t sugarcoat it – we can’t predict everything. Tumor consistency, adhesion with adjacent structures, some things we’ve got to judge on the fly. But, let me assure you, with this preoperative simulation, we’re avoiding complications left and right, predicting pitfalls like we’ve got a crystal ball. It’s incredible.

This manuscript, folks, it’s not just words on a page. It’s a guide to the future. We’re diving deep into the transplanum-transtuberculum approach for those tough cases – craniopharyngiomas, tuberculum sellae meningiomas. We’re showing you real examples, real success stories. It’s fantastic. Believe me, this is the kind of innovation that changes everything. Everything.
