WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

Meningioma Center doctor talking to patient

OUR DIFFERENCES & COMMITMENTS

INTEGRATED AND CUSTOMIZED CARE 

Our providers work together to provide the best care in the management of Meningioma tumors. Our team utilizes multidisciplinary team approach to deliver customized individualized care using state of the art surgical techniques and radiation therapy

INNOVATIVENESS AND EXPERIENCED TEAM

Our highly skilled specialists have over 20 years of experience innovating in the care of Meningioma Tumors. Our team has championed several innovative surgical concepts to minimize brain damage while maximizing function preservation for patients with meningioma

Balancing Cure and Quality of Life

Commitment to innovative minimally invasive meningioma surgery  and radiation in the treatment of Meningioma tumors have enhanced safety and reduced morbidity, length of hospital stay and complications to patients.

In THE CENTER FOR MENINGIOMA SURGERY our team has championed several concepts to maximize tumor resection while  minimizing brain damage and loss of quality of life

The 360 Minimally invasive concept

This unique neurosurgical concept employs  choose from an array of refined surgical techniques to maximize the removal of meningiomas in  all locations 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 approach used natural spaces at the skull base to gain access to complex deep located  meningiomas without unnecessary brain exposure or manipulation

Conformational Surgical Planing

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

LEADING TREATMENTS WITH MINIMALLY INVASIVE SOLUTIONS

In the CMS minimally invasive solutions for Meningioma tumors includes surgical resection using innovative  endoscopic and microscopic techniques and noninvasive state of the art radiation procedure—CyberKnife robotic Radiosurgery and Proton Bean Radiation Therapy—to deliver targeted radiation to meningioma tumors. CyberKnife radiation or Proton bean Radiation Therapy can be recommended as the primary form of treatment for Meningioma tumors or used as adjunct therapy for post operative residual tumor component in hard to reach critical areas. This planned combined team approach strategy has enhanced function preservation and quality while still allowing high rates of lasting tumor control.
