Innovations

Dr. Yadro Ducic has developed multiple innovations in face, neck, and skull base surgery in response to patient needs. Among his successes are various approaches to access lesions of the skull base as well as many techniques to optimize appearance post-operatively.

His work on patients with skull base tumors led him to develop tumor removal methods that minimize neurological damage by removing parts of the facial skeleton or moving them to the side to allow for safe access to the tumor. These procedures required the development of a number of techniques that result in significant improvements in the patient’s overall appearance.

Many factors are considered before considering surgery. Dr. Ducic continues working closely with his patients to develop appropriate treatment plans based on medical needs and patient desires. He looks forward to the opportunity to guide you in this process and assist you in making an informed decision about your surgery options.
