Skull Base Surgery
The face and the cranium, which surround the brain, are made up of bones and cartilage that make up the skull. The base of the skull is a busy and convoluted location with numerous openings through which the spinal cord, numerous blood arteries, and nerves all travel. Noncancerous and cancerous growths, as well as anomalies on the underside of the brain, the skull base, or the top few vertebrae of the spinal canal, may be removed by skull base surgery. Skull base surgery is a form of specialty surgery that treats problems at the base of the skull. Reaching these locations without cutting through the skull and retracting the brain is a problem in skull base surgery.
