Cranial Procedures

We provide compassionate surgical services for patients diagnosed with primary and metastatic brain tumors. With radiation oncologists, we can offer a minimally invasive alternative for treating many brain tumors.  Caring for patients following traumatic injuries is also a part of our practice and we provide a range of services related to treating traumatic cranial injuries.

  • Brain tumor biopsy or resection (gliomas and metastatic tumors)
  • Removal of skull base lesions/tumors
  • Pituitary Tumor removal
  • Meningioma removal
  • Posterior fossa decompression (Chiari and others)
  • Microvascular decompression for  Trigeminal Neuralgia or Hemifacial Spasm
  • Epidural hematoma evacuation
  • Subdural hematoma evacuation
  • Intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation
  • Skull fracture repair/reconstruction
  • Intracranial pressure monitoring
  • Focused radiation treatment
