The most frequently cited advantage was the expanded dextrous workspace reach provided by the articulated end-effectors, particularly in approaches with long working channels, such as the endonasal approach.

This study introduces a novel method suitable for extensive resections of the skull base, including intradural resections of the anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossae.The study aimed to investigate the feasibility of rotating a vascularized myofascial flap from the anterior third of the temporalis muscle onto the skull base, exploring its extension into the middle cranial fossa after drilling the greater wing of the sphenoid.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Six endoscopic dissections were performed on formalin-fixed heads to illustrate the feasibility of preparing a deep fascia flap from the temporalis muscle.
