Hi, I have had styloid removed to skull base by Mr hughes. He uses external approach and incision is made in neck crease. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to you, he is a highly skilled surgeon. I have listed his contact details on earlier post.
I agree Mr Axon delays etc are now an issue.
I saw Mr Corbridge- he does not operate to remove at skull base so fine for ES but not VES patients. Don’t know about others you list.
I have both my jugular veins decompressed. First one was with Neurosurgeon mr Jake timothy at Nuffield Leeds. He trimmed my C1 tubicle & cut styloid. He makes a very small incision in area behind ear so it does not mean same area is being operated on twice (ie. not neck incision). But he does not normally touch styloid just does C1 trims.
Not sure if I answered all your qus but hope that helps. Good luck in finding help you need soon. D
