Skull Base Institute Alumni
« on: February 18, 2009, 08:14:41 am »
I was curious if anyone knows how many SBI alumni are out there and/or have been on this forum?    I am interested in trying to get some impartial data on the outcomes and experiences of post-AN patients that have opted for the endoscopic procedure at SBI.     I've seen two recent patients, and both seemed to have had successful outcomes.  Does anyone know more about others over the recent 12 to 24 months?    TIA.

Did you do a forum search on SBI ?

I know there are several posts.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

3+cm AN, hit the chopping block 5 Sep 06 at the Skull Base Institute

Was 4.5cm at it's largest point, completely removed.  All motor functions normal.  Only complaint is SSD on the left side, which was expected anyway.
