Skull Base Surgeries

Types of Skull Base Surgeries

1. Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery

   • Minimally Invasive Access: This surgery uses a tiny, flexible endoscope inserted through the nasal passage to reach skull base areas without large incisions.
   • Procedure Highlights: The endoscope, equipped with a camera and special tools, provides a clear, magnified view to safely remove tumors or repair defects.
   • Benefits: Faster recovery, minimal post-op pain, no visible scars, and shorter hospital stays.

2. Open Skull Base Surgery

   • For Complex Conditions: When tumors are large or intricate, open surgery provides direct access to the affected area for thorough treatment.
   • Procedure Highlights: With advanced imaging and guidance, our surgeons make precise incisions to remove lesions while protecting essential structures.
   • Benefits: This approach allows complete treatment of larger tumors and challenging cases that require extensive care.

3. Stereotactic Radiosurgery

   • Non-Invasive Option: For hard-to-reach or small tumors, stereotactic radiosurgery uses targeted radiation for effective treatment without an incision.
   • Procedure Highlights: After detailed imaging, a highly focused dose of radiation is delivered precisely to the tumor, sparing nearby healthy tissue.
   • Benefits: Minimal recovery time, ideal for tumors that are difficult to reach, and effective as a standalone or complementary treatment.

Post-Surgery Care

• Supportive Recovery: Depending on the surgery type, patients may benefit from physical or speech therapy to aid recovery and restore function.
• Comprehensive Follow-Up: Regular imaging and follow-up with our specialists ensure ongoing health and monitor any recurrence risks.
