Consult Dr. Chinmay Phadtare for expert care and a personalised approach to your spine health.
Are you dealing with conditions such as pituitary tumours, trigeminal neuralgia, brain infections, or skull base tumours? These conditions require specialised care and precise treatment. Skull base surgery is an effective and advanced approach in the management of these conditions.
It is often performed using minimally invasive techniques, which reduce the risk of complications, promote faster recovery, and also reduce the risk to surrounding structures. Choosing the right specialist is essential to ensure the desired outcome; for this, you can consult Dr. Chinmay Phadtare in Satara, Maharashtra. He is a skilled neurosurgeon, known for his expertise in handling complex brain and skull conditions with advanced and minimally invasive surgical options.
Skull base surgery is a specialised type of surgery that includes treating conditions which are affecting the base of the skull. This surgery is performed to remove non-cancerous and cancerous growths and abnormalities on the underside of the brain. Symptoms which indicate the need for surgery include facial pain, headache, dizziness, vision problems, hearing loss and hormonal disorder. Skull base surgery can be performed using traditional or minimally invasive techniques. It is also known as skull base neurosurgery, which treats complex conditions located at the base of the skull.
The aim of skull base surgery is not only limited to treating the complex conditions or removing the lesion safely, but also to preserving the neurological functions. If you or someone is dealing with conditions which require skull base surgery, you can reach out to Dr. Chinmay Phadtare and get long- term relief from the condition.
There are basically two approaches to skull base surgery, depending upon the location and severity of the condition, which involve the following:
Endoscopic endonasal surgery is also known as the endoscopic endonasal approach, which is a minimally invasive approach for skull base surgery. Under this surgical approach, neurosurgeons access the base of the skull through the nose by using an endoscope, a thin flexible tube with a camera and surgical instruments. Because this is a minimally invasive approach, it avoids large external incisions and offers shorter hospital stays, reduced risk of infection, faster recovery, and less pain.
This procedure is performed to treat tumours such as pituitary adenomas and craniopharyngiomas. These are non-cancerous, benign tumours that develop near the pituitary glands and lead to hormonal and vision problems.
From critical care to intraoperative diagnostics, our multidisciplinary unit ensures every stage of neurosurgery is expertly supported and coordinated.
It is a traditional approach to skull base surgery, which involves opening the skull to treat various conditions affecting the base of the skull. The transcranial approach is used to treat tumours, vascular abnormalities, and other complex conditions which are unreachable with minimally invasive treatment options. This surgical approach includes techniques such as orbitozygomatic and retrosigmoid approaches to access the tumours and treat them.
This treatment approach includes removal of the parts of the orbital bone and the zygomatic bone to get better access to the tumours and abnormalities which are present at the front and the middle regions of the skull base.
Retrosigmoid treatment approach in skull base surgery is used to treat tumours and lesions which are affecting the cerebellum, brainstem, and nearby cranial nerves. This surgery is done by making an opening behind the ear to access the posterior skull base and safely remove the tumours to preserve hearing and facial nerve function.
