For Physicians
Surgical Innovations Preserve Nerves and Blood Vessels
Our surgical team has developed and refined new techniques to preserve nerves and blood vessels – especially when removing deep-seated tumors. We have also developed new methods to reconstruct cranial nerves, and restore their function, by grafting nerves from other sites. Advancements in carotid artery reconstruction enable us to apply vein and arterial grafts to reduce the patient's potential for stroke.
Surgical Endoscopes Increase Access
Technical advancements in endoscope design have increased our ability to access and see within deep-seated areas. The team combines this technology with conventional procedures to maximize the safety and the efficiency of resection and reconstruction techniques.
Advanced guidance and navigation systems
Patients benefit from our use of an advanced LED (light emitting diode) navigational system that precisely locates tumors and lesions at the base of the skull and deep within the brain. The system enables surgeons to control what they see through their operating instruments.
Multiple procedures during a single stay
The team strives to maximize each patient's hospital stay by performing all stages of a procedure during one hospitalization, unless the patient's safety or wellbeing determine otherwise. This facilitates the patient's rehabilitation after surgery and return to everyday life. |
