Endoscopic Brain/Skull Base Surgeries

Endoscopic Brain treatment in Sarjapur Road, Bangalore

Endoscopic brain/skull base surgeries are minimally invasive surgeries that are performed using an endoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it. These surgeries allow the surgeon to see and operate on the patient's brain or skull base through small head incisions without making a large opening in the skull. These surgeries can often be performed using minimally invasive techniques, which can help to reduce the risk of complications and speed up the recovery process. Book an appointment to have the best treatment.

Why is the procedure performed?

There are many reasons why a person might need endoscopic brain surgery. Some reasons include

  • A tumour that is pressing on the brain 

  • A buildup of fluid in the brain 

  • An injury to the brain 

  • A congenital disability in the brain

Pre-procedure preparations

  • Pre-procedure preparation for endoscopic brain/skull base surgeries typically include performing a complete medical history and physical examination, ordering laboratory tests and imaging studies, and obtaining informed consent from the patient. 

  • The patient may also be asked to fast for a while before the surgery and avoid eating or drinking anything after midnight the night before the procedure. Visit our neurosurgery hospital in Bangalore for the best treatment.

Procedure

The procedure for endoscopic brain/skull base surgery is as follows: 

  • The patient is placed under general anaesthesia, and a breathing tube is inserted. 

  • An incision is made in the scalp, and the skull is exposed.

  • A small hole is drilled in the skull, and a tiny camera is inserted.

  • The surgeon views the images from the camera and uses special instruments to remove the tumour or other abnormalities.

  • The incisions are closed, and the patient is taken to the recovery room.
