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.
