Transnasal Endoscopic Surgery For Skull-Based Tumors
Norfolk, VA . . . A team of cutting-edge surgeons at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital will be performing an innovative surgical technique that uses the nose as a "natural orifice" (opening in the body) to remove skull-based tumors---without the surgical incisions required to remove the tumor through the face or skull.
This type of surgery is one of several natural orifice surgical techniques being used throughout the country for removing diseased organs and tumors through natural openings of the body.
