Skull base surgery

Skull base surgery is a specialized type of neurosurgery that focuses on treating conditions affecting the base of the skull, where the brain meets the spinal cord. This area can harbor tumors, injuries, or structural problems that may impact vital functions. Surgeons use advanced techniques, sometimes collaborating with ear, nose, and throat specialists, to access these areas safely. The goal is to remove tumors or repair defects while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and preserving function. These surgeries may involve traditional open methods or minimally invasive approaches, tailored to each patient's needs.
