Summary

The definition of combined approaches is broad. This can include multiple portals to the same or different region in the skull base. The “pull-through technique is a versatile, dual-keyhole approach developed to attach tumors that extend between the temporal and occipital poles. This approach is complex, as it entails a knowledge of the intricate anatomy and eloquent cortical and subcortical structures in this region. This combined approach is tailed to minimize peripheral brain damage while providing a direct route to the pathology. This chapter discusses the indications, the anatomy, the patient selection, and the surgical nuances of this approach.
