Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery Specialist in Guwahati

Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery

Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery is a highly advanced and minimally invasive procedure used to treat conditions at the base of the skull, such as pituitary tumors, skull base tumors, and cysts. This technique allows the surgeon to reach deep areas of the brain through the nose or a small incision using a thin camera (endoscope) and specialized instruments. It avoids the need for a large skull opening and results in faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring.

This approach is especially useful for treating tumors located near vital structures such as nerves, blood vessels, and the brainstem — areas that are difficult to reach through traditional open surgery.

Microdiscectomy (Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery)

As part of the endoscopic technique, Microdiscectomy is used to treat herniated discs in the lower back. When a disc presses on a spinal nerve, it can cause severe leg pain, numbness, or weakness. Microdiscectomy involves removing only the part of the disc that is causing pressure, through a small incision. This results in quick pain relief and a shorter recovery period, allowing patients to return to daily life sooner.

Endoscopic Spine Surgery

Endoscopic Spine Surgery is another minimally invasive technique that uses a small tube-like camera to treat conditions such as spinal stenosis, disc herniation, and nerve compression. Through a tiny incision—often less than 1 cm—surgeons can visualize and treat spinal problems with high precision while preserving surrounding muscles and tissues. It is an effective option for patients seeking a quicker, safer alternative to traditional open spine surgery.
