🧠 *Dr. Albert L. Rhoton Jr. (1932–2016)*

Known as the father of microsurgical anatomy, Dr. Rhoton transformed modern neurosurgery through decades of meticulous anatomical dissections.

📚 Landmark Papers - Endoscopic Transorbital Surgery

The petroclival region has long been considered one of the most challenging territories in skull base surgery. In this landmark anatomical study, Corvino et al. introduced a novel three-port multiportal strategy.

How did the endoscopic transorbital approach begin?

IMatteo De Notaris, MD, PhD, shares the story of how he became interested in transorbital surgery. He walks us through the early days of exploring the anatomy through cadaveric dissections

🧠 Books & Chapter Pearls
The anterior clinoid process (ACP) is a key anatomical landmark in endoscopic transorbital approaches.
It forms a bony tunnel containing the optic nerve (CN II) and the ophthalmic artery

[Endoscopic Transorbital Society @EtosSome]

Modern skull base surgery is grounded in precision, anatomy, and respect for neurovascular structures. The microsurgical principles established by Gazi Yaşargil continue to shape today’s endoscopic and transorbital approaches

📚 Landmark Papers

In 2010, Moe, Bergeron, and Ellenbogen published the first clinical case series describing transorbital neuroendoscopic surgery (TONES), introducing the orbit as a safe endoscopic corridor to the anterior skull base.
