Transoral Skull Base Surgery with Tracheostomy

In this procedure, the provider approaches the skull base, brain stem, or upper spinal cord through the mouth. This approach requires a tracheostomy, which is an incision in the windpipe, along with midline splitting of the tongue, mandible, or both. The provider then obtains a biopsy, decompresses the brain stem or spinal cord, or excises a lesion. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
