Skull base surgery is a specialized and complex surgical approach used to treat tumors and abnormalities located at the base of the skull, where the brain, blood vessels, and cranial nerves are closely packed. These surgeries require high precision and are often performed using minimally invasive or endoscopic techniques.

When is Skull Base Surgery Needed?

• Benign or malignant skull base tumors (e.g., meningioma, pituitary tumors, acoustic neuroma)
• Brain aneurysms or vascular malformations
• Skull base fractures or infections
