A pleasure to serve as faculty for Houston Methodist’s ENT Skull Base Course. Outstanding lectures followed by hands-on cadaver dissections with an exceptional group of residents. The future of skull base surgery is bright! Thanks to Drs. Ahmed & Takashima for a terrific course.

Honored to present endoscopic skull base surgery at the Apple Healthcare Summit at Apple Park with Houston Methodist & STORZ, using Apple Vision Pro. 35 cases: reduced OR time, better ergonomics, true 4K clarity & no complications. The future of surgery is here

Excited about the use of Apple Vision Pro for endoscopic skull base surgery. After Performing over 5000 endoscopic surgeries, this is an amazing massive upgrade. Truly immersive surgery where one feels like you’re inside the brain walking around and doing the operation!

Excited about the role of MRI spectroscopy in further characterizing the nature of tumors and identifying novel targets. This article just published, illustrates how much one can learn from this technique. urldefense.com/v3/__links.em…$

I am very excited about our new technology, oncomagnetics, which is a new non-invasive way to treat glioblastoma. This also appears to work in other cancers. Imagine cancer treatment with less or no chemotherapy or radiation. This is a future possibility! piped.video/747aIVgi8MU

Congratulations to our three new Neurosurgery residents, Zeru Asfaw, Grant Koskay, and Shalin Shaw.
They are outstanding applicants and we are excited to have them start in July. We are blessed to have matched three residents who will likely be neurosurgical superstars!

I am proud of our Laboratory who is delving into the metabolism of brain cancer. Metabolomics is a new and exciting field that may revolutionize therapeutic interventions. Identifying unique tumor metabolism provides new targets for treatment.
