November 21, 2012 at 3:26 pm

November 17, 2012 – Dr Maroon along with Dr Eugene Myers were honored this weekend in celebration of 25th anniversary of  UPMC’s Center for Cranial Base Surgery.  Dr. Maroon and others lectured on the advancements of skull base surgery and recognized Dr Maroon’s contributions to the program.

“I was the first training fellow in the Center, and it was the first of its kind in North America,” he said. “The Center’s founders really were pioneers, doing something no one else was doing. The marathon procedures – one was 36 hours long – were very radical, risky, and deviated from the standard of care, so they were met with lots of resistance. Now, some of the techniques they championed are routine and widespread.”
