Advanced Endoscopic & Open Skull Base Surgery Fellowship

The Section of Open Skull Base Surgery (SSBS) works as an interdisciplinary team in conjunction with specialists in interventional neuroradiology, otolaryngology, neuro-ophthalmology and plastic surgery.

The SSBS consists of one of the largest meningioma programs in the country, evaluating over 200 new patients with meningiomas annually, of which approximately 100 operations are performed. In addition to meningioma surgery, the SSBS surgeons perform approximately 50-60 MVD procedures for trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm in addition to a growing number of minimally invasive endoscopic procedures for selected anterior skull base pathology.
