Short Description
The fellowship-trained skull base surgeons at Piedmont Atlanta Hospital work with endocrinologists, ophthalmologists, radiation and medical oncologists to diagnose and treat patients who need pituitary and/or minimally invasive cranial base surgery for tumors. Our multidisciplinary team works with patients and families to create the most comprehensive treatment plan for each patient. The advanced, less-invasive techniques often used to treat skull base tumors provide a faster recovery time and a shorter hospital stay than traditional open-surgery approaches.
Description
Our program is led by co-directors, Dr. Tyler Kenning of neurosurgery and Dr. Douglas Farquhar of otolaryngology. Our team specializes in skull base and the treatment of conditions such as meningiomas, pituitary tumors, craniopharyngioma, juvenile angiofibromas, chordomas, sinonasal malignancy, esthesioneuroblastomas, complex sinus disease and spinal fluid leaks.
