Advanced Skull Base Surgery
Expert Treatment for Complex Tumors by Dr. Atul Sharma
The skull base—the area where the brain rests—is one of the most complex regions in the human body, crowded with nerves and major blood vessels. Surgery here requires exceptional skill and advanced technology.
Dr. Atul Sharma is a specialist in Minimally Invasive Skull Base Surgery. Using endoscopic techniques through the nose (without external cuts), we can reach and remove tumors that were once considered inoperable, ensuring faster recovery and better preservation of function.
Complex Conditions We Manage
We treat a comprehensive range of benign and malignant pathologies located at the base of the skull.
Pituitary Adenomas
Tumors affecting the pituitary gland. We remove these through the nose (Transsphenoidal) leaving no visible scar.
Acoustic Neuromas
Tumors on the hearing and balance nerve. Our goal is to preserve facial nerve function and hearing.
Meningiomas
Common tumors arising from the brain's covering. We use microsurgery to remove them safely from critical areas.
CSF Leaks
Leakage of brain fluid through the nose. We repair these defects endoscopically with high success rates.
Craniopharyngiomas
Rare tumors near the pituitary gland that require careful handling of the optic nerves and hypothalamus.
Chordomas
Rare bone tumors at the skull base requiring aggressive removal and often proton beam therapy.
Warning Signs
Skull base tumors often grow slowly and cause subtle symptoms. Early detection is key to preserving function (vision, hearing, movement).
Seek a consultation if you experience:
- Progressive loss of vision or double vision.
- Hearing loss in one ear or ringing (tinnitus).
- Persistent headaches or facial numbness.
- Balance problems or dizziness.
- Clear fluid dripping from the nose (CSF Rhinorrhea).
