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.

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.
