Meningioma: Minimally Invasive Keyhole & Endoscopic Surgery
Dr. Daniel Kelly, Director of the Pacific Neuroscience Institute and the Pacific Brain Tumor Center, describes the various types and locations of meningiomas, the symptoms they produce and how they are treated using keyhole, endoscopic and conventional surgical approaches.
Meningiomas are the most common benign brain tumor although a minority may be more aggressive subtypes (atypical or anaplastic meningioma). Meningiomas arise from the coverings of the brain (meninges) and can be located in nearly all regions of the brain and base of the skull. The optimal treatment for the great majority of symptomatic meningiomas is maximal surgical removal. Fortunately, most meningiomas can be removed through a keyhole surgical route.
At the Pacific Brain Tumor Center, we have one of the world's largest experiences treating all types of meningiomas with keyhole and endoscopic approaches, conventional approaches as well as treating residual, recurrent and atypical meningiomas. These surgical approaches all aim to minimize disruptions of normal tissue including scalp, bone, cranial nerves, blood vessels and brain while accomplishing maximal possible tumor resection. By incorporating leading-edge technology and instrumentation with proven surgical experience, we make meningioma surgery safer, less invasive and more effective.
