After he received his medical degree from Jefferson Medical College, Dr. Kenning went on to complete a neurosurgery residency at Albany Medical Center and a fellowship in cranial base surgery at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. He is one of only a few neurosurgeons in the country with advanced training in minimally invasive endoscopic cranial base surgery through an accredited fellowship.
Co-director of The Pituitary and Minimally Invasive Cranial Base Surgery Program at Albany Medical Center, he specializes in the treatment of disorders of the skull base, including pituitary tumors, meningiomas, acoustic neuromas and cranial nerve disorders.
Dr. Kenning is also fellowship-trained in stereotactic radiosurgery, as well as other intercranial disorders that involves the directing of highly focused and extremely precise beams of ionizing radiation without requiring an incision.
Dr. Kenning provides a comprehensive and tailored approach to the treatment of brain tumors, working with a multidisciplinary team of neuro-oncologists and radiation oncologists. He specializes in the treatment of disorders of the skull base, including pituitary tumors, meningiomas and cranial nerve disorders, and will be the only fellowship-trained endoscopic neurosurgeon in the region able to perform minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of pituitary tumors. He also is experienced in stereotactic radiosurgery, a non-invasive treatment of benign and malignant tumors that involves the directing of highly focused and extremely precise beams of ionizing radiation without requiring an incision.
His research interests include surgical techniques in skull base surgery, as well as outcomes research in head injury and spinal surgery. He has authored a number of articles that have been published by such prestigious sources as the Journal of Neurosurgery and the Journal of Neurooncology, as well as several book chapters.
