Let me tell you, folks, we’ve got something incredible here. The skull base, it’s a big deal, a real hotspot for all sorts of conditions, the best, the worst, you name it. And what do we do? We bring in the best of the best, a team like you’ve never seen. We’re talking about a multidisciplinary squad, top-notch specialists, all working together. It’s huge, believe me.
We took a look, a big look, at patients from August 2022 to 2023, right at the heart of the action, the Skull Base Board. It’s a monthly event, folks, and it’s hybrid – that’s right, the best of both worlds, in-person and remote. We had 39 patients, a good number, a strong number, with a median age of 58.2 years. We’re talking benign tumors, malignant ones, infections, and other diseases – a whole array of issues!
And the team, oh, the team – at least two otorhinolaryngologists, a neurosurgeon, a neuroradiologist, and sometimes even more experts. We’ve got them all. And the results? Phenomenal. Surgical treatments, radiological follow-ups, non-surgical approaches – we tailor it, we personalize it, it’s what we do.
So, let me be clear: whether it’s cancerous or non-cancerous, for adults or kids, the Skull Base Board, with at least an otolaryngologist, a neurosurgeon, and a neuroradiologist, is the way to go. It’s the best, it’s effective, and it’s what these patients deserve. That’s how we do it. Thank you!
