UPMC’s Minimally Invasive endoNeurosurgery Center (MINC) offers a number of minimally invasive cranial, spinal, and vascular treatments that bring new hope to patients with complex brain, skull base, and spine disorders.
We are committed to finding the best treatment approach for each patient, maximizing the benefits of surgery while minimizing the risks.
Our team has pioneered and refined minimally invasive brain surgery techniques, including the Endoscopic Endonasal Approach for tumors and lesions in the skull base and upper spine, and the NeuroendoportSM approach for tumors and lesions within the substance of the brain and the ventricles (fluid-filled spaces). But our expertise is not limited to these techniques. Our surgical team has world-class expertise in traditional brain and skull base surgery, cranial nerve disorders, and since 1987 has been a pioneer and world leader in the use of stereotactic radiosurgery technology.
