The Transpetrosal-Ridge Approach: A Modification of the Combined Transpetrosal ApproachDOI: 10.1016/j.wnsx.2019.100009 Keywords: Combined transpetrosal approach, Skull base surgery AE, Arcuate eminence, PSC, Posterior semicircular canal, SSC, Superior semicircular canal Abstract: Petroclival tumors are formidable challenges for skull base surgeons. Obtaining adequate surgical access is a paramount consideration. Although the combined transpetrosal approach provides a wide surgical corridor, it is technically challenging and, to a degree, morbid. This article describes the transpetrosal-ridge approach, which is a modification of the combined transpetrosal approach with improvements with regards to ease of execution and reduced surgical morbidity
