What Are Complex Cranial and Skull Base Surgeries?

Our physicians specializing in benign and malignant tumors and other vascular abnormalities occurring beneath the brain, at the skull base, and at the top of the spinal column employ complicated cranial neurosurgical procedures and other cutting-edge technologies to provide top-of-the-line treatments.

Craniotomies are a type of cranial surgery technique that can be used for a range of purposes:

Smaller keyhole craniotomies also called burr holes may be used for a number of procedures:

• Placement of a shunt to divert excess cerebrospinal fluid
• Implantation of a deep brain stimulator for certain movement disorders, chronic pain conditions, and obsessive-compulsive disorders resistant to other treatments
• Endoscopic treatments of cerebral aneurysms
• Stereotactic biopsy of tumors
• Evacuation of subdural hematomas
