Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery

Precision surgery through natural openings, with faster recovery and fewer complications.

The base of the skull is a complex and delicate area that houses critical nerves and blood vessels. Tumors or growths in this area can affect vision, hearing, balance, and even hormonal function. Traditionally, accessing this region required large incisions and longer recovery—but not anymore.

At Narayana Neuro Clinic, we offer Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery, a minimally invasive technique that allows us to remove tumors and treat conditions through the nose, without any external cuts.

What Is Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery?

It’s an advanced surgical technique that uses a thin tube with a camera (endoscope) inserted through the nostrils to reach the skull base. Surgeons work with tiny instruments to treat tumors, cysts, and other abnormalities in hard-to-reach areas of the brain.

Conditions We Treat:

• Pituitary tumors

• Meningiomas

• Chordomas and craniopharyngiomas

• Cysts and lesions of the skull base

• CSF leaks (cerebrospinal fluid leaks)

• Tumors near the optic nerve or brainstem

Advantages of Endoscopic Surgery:

• No visible scars (through the nose)

• Less blood loss and shorter surgery time

• Faster recovery and reduced hospital stay

• Lower risk of brain and nerve damage
