SKULL BASE SURGERY PROGRAM
The Skull Base Surgery Program is very active in the management
of patients with lesions
of the skull base
such as meningiomas,
chordomas, acoustic
neuromas, head and neck cancers involving the skull base,
orbital tumors, and
various other tumors as well as vascular lesions involving the
skull base. Complex lesions of the skull base are managed by
a team of surgeons from various surgical specialties such as
Neurosurgery,
Head and Neck Surgery, Otology,
Orbital Surgery and Plastic Surgery. In addition, interventional
neuroradiologists
will often perform angiography and preoperative embolization
of tumors to assist in the management of several types of lesions.
Neurosurgeons and Radiation
Oncologists collaboratively treat certain tumors with Stereotactic
Radiosurgery.
