Lateral and Anterior Skull Base Procedure Solutions & Benefits

Medtronic provides surgeons extraordinarily accurate results in the navigation of tumors and lesions affecting the anterior and lateral skull base, including cholestiatomas, petrus apex tumors and pituitary tumors. We do this through:

• Scanning and registration protocols that enable highly precise and reproducible results
• Software that fuses different imaging modalities (CT, MRI) together for enhanced tissue differentiation

Patient and Surgeon Benefits

For the surgeon, our navigation solutions provide the ability to navigate on images with more clearly defined lesion borders, allowing the removal of diseased tissue without disturbing the surrounding healthy anatomy.

Patient benefits of a less-invasive, navigated surgery include:

• Less tissue trauma
• Faster healing time
• Fewer and smaller scars
• Patient confidence and peace of mind
