Brain tumor removal via nostrils leaves patients scar-free
In November, Michael Beckman underwent brain surgery to remove a benign mass near his pituitary gland. His doctors used the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA), a modern surgical technique used to remove brain tumors through the nose. “The amazing part about everything is how some people don’t believe I had brain surgery,” Beckman said.

Local doctors at Methodist University Hospital have teamed up for a multidisciplinary approach that removes brain tumors through the nose, which doesn't leave a scar across a patient's face or head.
