Skull Base Center – Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

The skull base is a highly complex region where the facial skeleton, paranasal sinuses, orbit, and critical nerves and blood vessels are closely interconnected. Oral and maxillofacial surgery brings special expertise to this area, particularly in the precise removal of tumors, microsurgical reconstruction, and the restoration of form and function. The scope of treatment also includes malformations, skull base fractures, inflammatory conditions, as well as post-traumatic and postoperative defects. With the aid of state-of-the-art technology – such as navigation, intraoperative imaging, neuromonitoring, and high-resolution microscopy – even highly complex procedures can be performed safely and with minimal tissue damage.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgical Focus Areas

• Traumatology: Treatment of skull base fractures, including closure of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks and restoration of facial proportions.
• Tumor Surgery: Removal of malignant tumors (e.g., squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma) with subsequent microsurgical reconstruction.
• Benign Tumors: Gentle removal of osteomas, juvenile ossifying fibromas, and others using navigation and imaging techniques.
• Reconstruction: Management of post-traumatic and postoperative defects with pedicled or free flap reconstructions.
