Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery Hospital in Bangalore

Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery is a minimally invasive surgical approach that is used to treat conditions affecting the skull base. Employing an endoscopic approach, our ENT surgeons at Manipal Hospitals Millers Road use natural body openings to insert the endoscope to treat a condition. It is a thin tube with a camera, lighting, and surgical instruments at one end. The light allows the surgeon to examine the interior tissues, which are reflected on the screen attached.

In most cases, skull base surgeries are performed through the nasal opening, called the Endoscopic Endonasal Approach. It helps surgeons to reach and remove abnormal growths, cysts, benign or malignant tumours, tumours in/near the pituitary gland or bone in the skull base, etc., located in challenging areas of the skull base, accessing regions previously deemed too complex for surgery. This innovative approach expands surgical possibilities, offering hope where treatment options were once limited.

As it requires tiny incisions during the procedure, there won't be any visible scars or cosmetic issues related to the surgery. In addition, endoscopic techniques take less time than open skull base surgery leading to shorter hospital stays. Risks associated with surgery or post-operative pain and discomfort are also relatively low.

ENT surgeons at Manipal Hospitals Millers Road, Bangalore, are highly skilled at using endoscopy to access the intricate areas of the skull and successfully treat patients with tumours or other conditions in the skull base.
