Cranial base surgery (or skull base surgery) involves removing tumors or vascular lesions that cross the base of the skull.

Duke’s Departments of Otolaryngology, Neurosurgery, and Radiation Oncology are dedicated to the evaluation and treatment of patients with cranial base lesions.

Our comprehensive team approach for this highly advanced and complex treatment program includes board-certified surgeons, neurotologists, and neurological surgeons for this very specialized surgical procedure involving the brain.
