Endoscopic skull base surgery is a minimally invasive procedure often performed to remove cancerous and non-cancerous growths and abnormalities inside the skull base, the underside of the brain, or the top few vertebrae of the spinal column.
Our North American and European Board Certified expert otolaryngologists specialize in performing endoscopic skull-base surgery using the latest treatment techniques and technologies to help manage symptoms and limit the progression of the disease.
During the procedure, the surgeon may create a small incision inside the nose to remove a growth using a thin, lighted tube called an endoscope. These are performed using the latest technology of image-guided (navigation) surgery.
Oftentimes, sophisticated advanced skull-base surgeries are performed through the nose where patients may go home in a few days without any incisions or external sutures.
