Surgical access to tumors involving the infratemporal fossa (ITF) and adjacent regions can be challenging, and there is a continued need for novel approaches to complex tumors in this region. In this manuscript, we present a unique anatomical approach that allows contiguous exposure of the ITF and buccal space with mobilization of the lateral maxillary buttress. Laryngoscope, 2024.
Keywords: buccal space; infratemporal fossa; lateral buttress of maxilla; sublabial approach; transmaxillary approach; zygomaticomaxillary buttress.
