Nerve Preservation

Facial Nerve Preservation & Skull Base Surgery

Surgical interventions targeting the cerebellopontine (CP) angle, such as acoustic neuroma (vestibular schwannoma) or meningioma removals, present high surgical complexity due to their proximity to critical cranial nerves. Dr. Pavan Kumar Ediga specializes in micro-dissection techniques using advanced intraoperative facial nerve monitoring systems. This ensures the maximum possible tumor resection while strictly prioritizing the preservation of facial movements, hearing, and balance functions.

Clinical Care Priorities:

• Intraoperative Facial Nerve Electromyography (EMG) Monitoring
• Microscopic Dissection of Acoustic Neuromas
• Facial Nerve Decompression for Bells Palsy / Hemifacial Spasm
• Post-Surgical Neuromuscular Facial Rehabilitation Protocols
