RUSH skull base surgeons operating on a patient

RUSH Skull Base and Pituitary Surgery provides personalized, comprehensive care for patients with complicated skull base pathology such as pituitary adenoma, acoustic neuroma, meningioma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak/ encephalocele.

Treatments on the cutting edge

We offer the most advanced treatments available, including minimally invasive surgery using endoscopic technology to remove benign and malignant tumors in the head, neck and skull base in addition to intraoperative computed tomography and surgical navigation for real-time visualization to improve safety and ensure complete tumor removal. We also partner with Tempus, a biotechnology company, to analyze the genetics of malignant tumors to identify novel treatment strategies for rare sinus, skull base and brain cancers.

Collaboration with referring physicians

Both patients and referring physicians benefit from working with our team of specialists. By conversing directly with our referring physicians, we provide optimal treatment and coordinate care to help manage patients’ appointments. We keep in mind that referring physicians are integral members of our care team and are proud to be recognized by the North American Skull Base Society as a Multidisciplinary Team of Distinction for reflecting the society’s emphasis on treating the patient through a team approach.
