Skull Base Surgery

Skull base surgery is a highly specialized procedure focusing on the intricate area at the base of the skull.
This region houses vital structures like the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, and orbits

Why is it Complex ?

The skull base is a challenging area to access due to its complex anatomy and proximity to critical structures. Surgeons require specialized training and expertise to perform these procedures.

Common Conditions Treated

• Tumors: Both benign and malignant tumors affecting the base of the skull.  
• Vascular Malformations: Abnormal blood vessels in the area.
• Infections: Infections that have spread to the skull base.

Surgical Techniques
