Endoscopic & Skull Base Surgeries by
Dr. Pavan Kumar M
Endoscopic and skull base surgeries are highly specialized procedures used to treat complex conditions of the skull base, nasal cavity, and sinuses. Dr. Pavan Kumar M employs minimally invasive techniques to access hard-to-reach areas, reducing recovery time and improving outcomes.
Types of Endoscopic & Skull Base Surgeries:
- Anterior Skull Base Surgery: Treats tumors and defects at the base of the skull. Using endoscopic tools inserted through the nasal passages, Dr. Pavan can access the skull base without the need for external incisions. This approach reduces trauma to surrounding tissues, leading to faster recovery.
- Endoscopic Pituitary Surgery: Used to remove pituitary tumors located at the base of the brain. By accessing the pituitary gland through the nasal cavity, this procedure eliminates the need for traditional brain surgery, minimizing risks and recovery time.
- Upper Aerodigestive Tract Endoscopies: Involves using a flexible endoscope to examine and treat the throat, esophagus, and upper airway. These procedures can diagnose and treat tumors, strictures, or foreign bodies with minimal discomfort.
Endoscopic skull base surgeries require precision and advanced imaging for navigation. Dr. Pavan’s expertise ensures high success rates while reducing the risks associated with traditional open surgeries.
