MedStar Health, a leader in skull base surgeries, now offers endoscopic endonasal surgery performed by an interdisciplinary team of experts. Using precision neuronavigation technology and a growing toolbox of specially designed instrumentation, these procedures can now be performed on patients with a variety of conditions that once required open craniotomies:
-
Cerebrospinal fluid leaks/encephaloceles
-
Sinonasal tumors (benign & malignant)
-
Nasopharyngeal tumors
-
Orbital/optic nerve compressive injury
-
Clival/upper cervical spine tumors
-
Pterygopalatine/infratemporal fossa tumors
-
Meningioma
-
Chordomas
-
Pituitary tumors
The endonasal approach is a major medical advance — with multiple benefits for patients:
-
Smaller incisions and often no visible incisions at all
-
Fewer complications with no damage to surrounding tissue
-
Faster recovery with discharge from the hospital within 48 to 72 hours
-
Resumption of activities in days instead of weeks
