Two surgeons, Dr. Mohamed A.M. Labib, M.D., CM, neurosurgeon and assistant professor of neurosurgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) and Andrea M. Hebert, M.D., MPH, head and neck surgeon and an associate professor of otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery at University of Maryland School of Medicine removed a spine tumor through a patient’s eye socket in what appears to be the first time this particular approach was used to access the cervical spine.
