Skull Base surgery

The skull base refers to the base or floor of the cranium, the part of the skull on which the brain rests. Skull base surgery is a highly specialized surgical approach for evaluating, diagnosing and treating benign or cancerous growths located on the underside of the brain.

Skull base surgery can be extremely complex, involving the brain, vital blood vessels and many important nerves from brain. Dr Polin is a recognised expert in the field of transnasal, transoral, and supraorbital minimally invasive surgical techniques used in the approach of skull base tumors.
