IntroductionThe orbitozygomatic extension technique described by Sekhar and Wright requires a temporal basal craniectomy that must be done in order to make osteotomy dissections. In the present work, a technique that includes the base and squamous temporal bone and a craniotomy instead of a craniectomy is shown.MethodThe temporal and masseter muscles are dissected and separated from the temporal and zygomatic bones to facilitate passing them through the zygomatic arch in a caudal direction, which allows a frontotemporal basal craniotomy. Intracranially, a trepan that communicates to the glenoid cavity is done, which permits a temporal basal cut using the pneumatic drill saw. This is done in order to join with the orbital wall osteotomies, which were done in this approach with the craniotomy.
