Skull Base Surgery

Skull base surgery is a highly advanced procedure for complex conditions located deep within the skull, such as tumors, vascular abnormalities, and congenital defects. These areas are surrounded by critical structures like the brainstem, cranial nerves, and major blood vessels. Thus, precision is absolutely essential at each stage. Dr. Sarkiss’ expertise extends to skull base surgery, using the latest minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques to access hard-to-reach areas safely and effectively.

How It Works

Dr. Sarkiss starts by carefully planning with the aid of high-definition imaging and 3D navigation. Depending on the location and nature of the condition, Dr. Sarkiss may use an endoscopic endonasal approach through the nose or a small craniotomy behind the ear or near the eyebrow. These refined techniques allow for maximum tumor removal with minimal disruption to healthy brain tissue.

Advantages

Patients benefit from shorter recovery times, less postoperative discomfort, and fewer complications compared to traditional open surgery. Most importantly, skull base surgery can address life-threatening conditions while preserving neurological function.
