A Standardized Surgical Technique for Tessier Medial Transnasal Canthopexy

2026
Medial canthopexy allows correction of the position and fixation of the medial canthal tendon. Due to the technical difficulties of this procedure, there is a need for a detailed protocol for educational purposes. Here, we describe a standardized reproducible technique for bilateral medial transnasal canthopexy by an orbitonasal approach.

The present work provides a comprehensive set of guidelines for manually tracing the medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures. This protocol can be applied to research involving structural and/or combined structural-functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) investigations of the MTL, in both healthy and clinical groups.

We describe procedures for preparation and electrophysiological recording from brain slices that maintain the dorsal-ventral axis of the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC). Because neural encoding of location follows a dorsal-ventral organization within the MEC, these procedures facilitate investigation of cellular mechanisms important for navigation and memory.

Generation of Medial Thalamus-Anterior Cingulate Cortex Slices from Mouse Brains

2025
The video demonstrates the preparation of medial thalamus-anterior cingulate cortex (MT-ACC) slices from mouse brains. A mouse's brain is dissected, cuts are made to expose the MT-ACC pathway, and slices are generated using a vibratome. The MT-ACC slices are then maintained in oxygenated artificial cerebrospinal fluid.
FAQs
Planning begins with surface anatomy and internal landmarks that identify the target and the safest entry path. Clinicians then consider how the route will cross tissue planes and where nearby nerves, blood vessels, or other critical structures lie. This preparation helps align access with the intended anatomy while reducing avoidable disruption.
Tissue planes provide an organized route toward the target and help clinicians separate structures during exposure. Following these planes can clarify the operative or procedural field and limit unnecessary disturbance of surrounding tissues. Their usefulness depends on accurate anatomical knowledge, particularly when important nerves, vessels, or other structures are located near the planned path.
Suitability depends on the target’s position, the surrounding anatomy, and whether access from the medial side provides a direct route. Clinicians also weigh the need to protect nearby critical structures and limit tissue disruption. The choice therefore reflects both the desired exposure and the anatomical risks associated with the selected entry path.
Detailed knowledge of regional anatomy allows clinicians to match surface landmarks with deeper structures before and during access. It supports identification of the target, recognition of tissue planes, and avoidance of nearby nerves and blood vessels. In practice, this knowledge helps make the route more controlled and contributes to accurate, effective care.
A typical sequence uses surface anatomy to plan the entry, identifies internal landmarks, and establishes the route toward the target. Clinicians then separate tissue planes to expose the relevant structure while avoiding nearby nerves, blood vessels, and other critical anatomy. The exact execution varies with the region and whether the purpose is examination, diagnosis, or surgery.
This route can support several types of care, including physical examination, diagnostic procedures, and operations. Its use is relevant when the medial side offers practical access to the structure being assessed or treated. Applications may involve the limbs, joints, or internal organs, with the selected path tailored to the anatomy and clinical objective.
