Zygomatic osteotomy, an adjunct to middle cranial fossa (MCF) surgical approaches, improves the superior-inferior angle of approach and minimizes temporal lobe retraction. However, the impact of the zygomatic osteotomy on approach related complications has not been well documented. We analyzed the factors predicting use of a zygomatic osteotomy for middle fossa approaches and evaluated complications associated with a zygomatic osteotomy.
