Comprehensive Skull Base Tumor Care

Skull base tumors usually respond well to minimally invasive surgery and traditional surgery to remove tumors while preserving healthy tissue. Our USC Skull Base Surgery Program connects you with world-renowned head and neck surgery experts for skull base tumor treatment.

Your treatment plan is personalized to your needs. We use the latest microsurgical techniques and tools. Other health care providers, such as physical therapists, help you regain function after surgery, if necessary. We are committed to helping you achieve your best outcome.

Our program is among the most comprehensive in the nation, providing you with an exceptional standard of care.

Whenever possible, our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to lower risk and promote faster recovery.

You have access to the latest stereotactic radiosurgery technologies to help you achieve the best outcome possible.

Our expertise allows us to diagnose and treat acoustic neuromas, which may affect the skull base.

We provide comprehensive care by working with other specialists to meet each of your medical needs.
