Skull Base Surgery

Skull Base Surgery

What is Skull Base Surgery ?

Skull base surgery is the surgery performed to excise, remove or limit the growth of certain pathologies like cysts and tumors occurring at the base of the skull. The surgery may also be done to treat cerebral neuropathies and certain nerve problems. The two types of skull base surgery based on the approach are- minimally invasive surgery and open skull base surgery. Patients suffering from an acute headache, trauma, visual problems, and severe infections may be advised of this surgery when pharmacological treatment proves to be ineffective. MRI, CT, CBCT, and/or biopsy can be done before the procedure.

  • Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys.
  • Did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance.
  • Important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.
  • Hemodialysis can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.
  • You may be able to do hemodialysis at home. Normally, hemodialysis begins well before your kidneys have shut down to the point of causing life-threatening complications.

How is it done?

  • The procedure is done under general anesthesia and the patient is prepared adequately.
  • For the minimally invasive procedure, an incision is made on the face or near the eyebrow to gain access through the ear, nose, or other perforations in the skill.
  • An endoscope is inserted and the tumor located. The professionals will then excise this tumor completely and irrigate the area. The closure is done in layers and the incision is sutured.
  • In an open procedure, craniotomy cuts are made, meaning the overlying bone is slightly cut or perforated for easy access.
  • Graft placement may be done to reconstruct the area. The patient will be advised to take bed rest for at least 3- 4 days before discharge.
