Our Approach to Transcranial Surgery
Our doctors perform transcranial (through the skull) surgery to remove tumors at the base of the skull or brain.
In some cases, endoscopic endonasal surgery is a recommended and complete treatment option. In other cases, the tumor’s size, shape, or location demand the traditional approaches to skull base surgery such as transcranial skull base surgery. There are some instances when both approaches are used during a single operation.
In addition to offering all types of transcranial surgery approaches, our team conducts research into new advances to ensure that we can offer patients the most advanced transcranial surgery options, including some that may not be available yet anywhere else.
