OUR MENINGIOMA CENTER

THE MENINGIOMA CENTER brings together a multidisciplinary, sub-specialized  team of experts with 20 years of experience managing Meningiomas and following research and trends in this neurosurgical field. Our team includes: Neurosurgeons, Neurotologists, ENTs, Head and Neck surgeons, Oculoplastic surgeons and Radiation Oncologists.

Leading Meningioma Treatments

In THE MENINGIOMA CENTER’s team has over 1000 case experience treating meningiomas through an array of advanced surgical techniques including  key hole microneurosurgery, endoscopic nasal surgery, focused trans-ear approaches and focused cranio-orbital surgery. In additional we use CiberKnife robotic radiosurgery and the most advanced Proton Bean radiation therapy as the primary treatment for selected patients or as planned adjuvant treatment after initial surgical removal of tumors.

Our Meningioma Expertise

Our highly skilled specialists at THE MENINGIOMA CENTER uses a multidisciplinary collaborative approach to provide each meningioma patient with an individualized treatment plan of care whether we are evaluating and treating the less complex, easily accessible superficial tumor or one of the most challenging deep located skull base tumors.

BALANCING CURE, INNOVATION AND QUALITY OF LIFE

At the center, our team has championed several concepts to minimize brain damage while maximizing function preservation and quality of life.

The 360 Minimally invasive concept

This unique neurosurgical concept allows us to choose from a comprehensive array of refined surgical techniques to maximize the removal of meningiomas, no matter where the tumor is within the brain and skull base with minimal brain manipulation or retraction.

– Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery
– Transfrontal Sinus Surgery
– Focused Orbital Approach
– Focused Trans-ear Bone Approach
– Focused Cranio-Cervical Approach

The extradural navigation Concept

This surgical concept uses the natural spaces at the skull base to gain access to complex deep meningiomas without unnecessary brain exposure or direct brain manipulation.

Conformational Surgical Planning

The collaborative critical analysis of the meningioma anatomy by the surgical and radiation oncology teams allows the creation of a pre-operative conformational surgical planning. This strategy is used when complete resection of the tumor is not deemed safe. It creates a treatment plan to maximize and safeguard a large meningioma surgical resection. Post operatively radiation treatment for tumors in hard to reach, sensitive locations using CyberKnife or Proton Bean radiosurgery. This multidisciplinary interaction allows for maximal tumor resection, functional preservation, and effective tumor control in hazardous location.

Commitment to innovative minimally invasive meningioma surgery and the multidisciplinary approach have enhanced the safe management of the meningioma removal, while reducing morbidity, length of hospital stay, and complications.

COMPASSIONATE, PERSONALIZED CARE THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION

When you choose The Meningioma Center for your treatment, we coordinate your care so that you can schedule multiple appointments with our Meningioma experts from different disciplines, who will collaborate on your care. Our physicians are leaders of the Baylor University Medical Center Skull Base Team and Medical City Dallas Skull Minimally Invasive Program. Cases are routinely discussed in our forums to develop best customized treatment plans for each patient.
