Dr. Theodore H. Schwartz: Removing Skull Base Tumors through the Lateral Transorbital Approach (LTOA)

Dr. Theodore H. Schwartz, neurosurgeon and Director of Anterior, Skull Base, and Epilepsy Surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine, is pioneering a minimally invasive surgical approach to removing skull base tumors located in the middle cranial fossa. The procedure, called the lateral transorbital approach (LTOA), involves a small incision in the eyelid which serves as the access point for tumor removal. Watch to learn more about this approach and how Dr. Schwartz is transforming patient outcomes with improved accuracy and faster recovery.
