The term "approach" refers to the surgical approach or technique used to gain access to the area of the skull base where the lesion is located. The choice of approach depends on the location and size of the lesion, as well as the surgeon's preference and level of expertise. Common approaches include the transsphenoidal approach, the transpetrosal approach, and the transnasal endoscopic approach, among others.
