His fellowship at Cornell University was highlighted by training not only in the treatment of advanced skull base tumors resected in conjunction with the premier neurosurgical team headed by Dr. Theodore Schwartz; but also by the adoption of advanced techniques combined with groundbreaking and innovative equipment such as 3D-intraoperative stereotactic surgical navigation, steroid-eluting stent placement, balloon sinuplasty, and the use of biodegradable implants in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis.
