Tailored Tumor Treatment
The specifics of brain tumor surgery depend on the type, location, and size of the tumor. Our surgeons at California Neurosurgical Institute will perform a comprehensive evaluation using advanced imaging techniques to plan the most effective surgical approach. Our team includes surgeons who are fellowship trained and with extensive experience in numerous surgical techniques ranging from minimally invasive keyhole and endoscopic surgery to complex skull base approaches to multimodal care plans involving surgical tumor size reduction followed by radiation therapy. Surgery is done by opening the skull through a scalp incision and craniotomy or through the nose with a camera and specialized instruments. Minimally invasive and keyhole approaches are always employed when feasible. Surgery typically involves removing as much of the tumor as possible while minimizing the impact on surrounding healthy brain tissue. In some cases, complete removal is not feasible, and the goal will be to reduce the tumor’s size and alleviate symptoms.
