Palm Beach Gardens, FL :
“Keyhole” craniotomy allows for the removal of skull base tumors through a small incision to access the cerebellum and brainstem. Neurosurgeons may use this approach to reach certain tumors, such as meningioma’s and acoustic neuromas. Benefits include less pain than an open craniotomy, faster recovery and minimal scarring.
Dr. Kelly, who has performed more than 4,000 procedures – both conventional and keyhole – for treating brain cancer, said he is anxious to share his experiences with colleagues from the international medical community who have patient populations in need of advanced neurosurgical services and comprehensive approaches to brain, skull base and pituitary tumors.
“The Brain Tumor Center already has ongoing clinical fellowships for U.S. and Canadian neurosurgeons as well as observational fellowships and visiting scholar programs for surgeons from outside North America,” said Kelly. “In the last few years, we have had fellows from Brazil, China, Chile, Egypt, Ghana, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Turkey and Germany.”
