Research

Doctors and surgeons trained in nervous system conditions, also known as neurologists and neurosurgeons, are working to improve care for people who need a craniotomy. Researchers for the Brain Tumor Program study better ways to diagnose and treat all brain tumors. One area of study includes developing brain-mapping techniques for hard-to-reach tumors.

Some areas studied by Mayo Clinic researchers include:

  • The potential advantages of different types of craniotomies, including pterional keyhole craniotomy and supraorbital keyhole craniotomy.
  • Techniques used in awake brain mapping for better outcomes after a craniotomy.
  • The safety and potential risks of a craniotomy, along with the risk of delaying the procedure.
