Evaluation and Treatment
The Center for Cranial Base Surgery utilizes
state-of-the-art, imaging and a variety of radio-
and micro-surgical techniques, including:
- Neuroradiologic mapping, which produces
highly precise clinical imaging of advanced
tumors
- Interventional angiography to define critical
vascular structures and decrease blood loss
during certain procedures
- Cranial nerve monitoring during surgery
to identify and preserve vision, hearing, balance,
and facial expressions as well as speech and
swallowing
- Restorative and reconstructive facial and
skull base surgery
- Advanced microscopic, laser and ultrasonic
techniques
- Intraoperative computer-assisted navigation
to identify the precise location of tumors
in relation to surrounding vital tissues
- Minimally invasive endoscopic surgical techniques
- Noninvasive radiosurgery treatment utilizing
the Gamma Knife
In addition to its program of neurocritical care
and multimodality monitoring, the Center provides
fully equipped rehabilitation services and programs.
