Minimally Invasive
Skull Base Surgery
Program
The minimally invasive skull base surgery program at Memorial
Hermann-Texas Medical Center combines the expertise of leading
otorhinolarygologists, the resources of the new Texas Skull Base Institute
at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston and the skill and
experience of neurosurgeons at the Mischer Neuroscience Institute (MNI)
at Memorial Hermann.
Our team of otorhinolaryngologists are skilled in the endoscopic repair
of CSF leaks and have developed strategies for the minimally invasive
endoscopic management of both benign and malignant neoplasms of the paranasal sinuses and skull base. Skull
base tumors and neurovascular disease conditions are managed by a team that includes specialty-trained skull base
neurosurgeons, neuroendovascular surgeons, neuro-otolaryngologists and intraoperative neurophysiologists. The
program also includes consultations with our Gamma Knife team, as appropriate.
Scope of Expertise
• Inverted papilloma and benign neoplasms
• Esthesioneuroblastoma and malignant skull base tumors
• Juvenile angiofibroma and pediatric tumors
• Acoustic neuroma and lateral skull base tumors
• CSF rhinorrhea (spinal fluid leak)
• Fibro-osseous lesions, including fibrous dysplasia
• Pituitary tumors
• Intraoperative imaging
• Computer-aided surgery
Evaluation and Treatment
We are committed to innovation in the treatment of rare and difficult conditions, to collaboration between
otorhinolaryngology and neurosurgery and to close collaboration with referring physicians. Once a diagnosis has
been made, we have at our disposal the most advanced treatment options available, including state-of-the-art medical
therapy and surgery using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible.
To refer or schedule a patient, please call 832.325.7171 (otorhinolaryngology) or 832.325.7090 (neurosurgery).
