At Neuro Doctors, we are at the forefront of minimally invasive neurosurgical advancements, and our endoscopic cranial surgery program exemplifies this commitment. Led by Dr. Ravi Mohan Rao, a renowned neurosurgeon in Bangalore with decades of clinical experience, and supported by a team of highly accomplished ENT surgeons, we specialize in providing advanced treatment for cranial base disorders using minimally invasive techniques.
Endoscopic cranial surgery is a revolutionary technique that offers a less invasive alternative to traditional open cranial base surgery. This approach primarily involves accessing the cranial base through the nasal cavity (endonasal route), eliminating the need for large skull openings. It is particularly effective for a variety of conditions such as pituitary tumors, craniopharyngiomas, meningiomas, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks.
Unlike traditional neurosurgical methods that often require extensive craniotomies and long recovery periods, endoscopic approaches offer multiple patient benefits:
Minimized surgical trauma
Reduced hospitalization time
Faster recovery
Less postoperative discomfort
Minimal external scarring
Dr. Ravi Mohan Rao and his expert team emphasize precision, safety, and long-term outcomes in every procedure they perform.
Our endoscopic cranial surgery program covers a wide range of complex conditions. Every case is approached with thorough planning, state-of-the-art imaging, and a collaborative strategy between our neurosurgical and ENT teams.
Pituitary tumors are one of the most common indications for endoscopic skull base surgery. Dr. Ravi Mohan Rao has vast experience in treating pituitary adenomas using endoscopic transsphenoidal approaches. With precision tools and intraoperative navigation, tumors are removed with minimal disruption to surrounding brain structures. Patients benefit from quicker hormonal balance restoration, improved vision, and fewer complications.
Traditionally considered difficult to access, craniopharyngiomas and suprasellar meningiomas can now be approached using minimally invasive endoscopic methods. In carefully selected cases, Dr. Ravi Mohan Rao employs advanced techniques to reach these tumors through the nasal corridor. This reduces the risks associated with open craniotomy and promotes faster rehabilitation for patients.
CSF rhinorrhea, the leakage of cerebrospinal fluid through the nasal cavity, can result from trauma, surgery, or spontaneous causes. Left untreated, it may lead to serious infections such as meningitis. Our team offers endoscopic repair of CSF leaks, ensuring a durable and safe seal while preserving the patient’s anatomy. This approach minimizes the risk of complications and helps patients return to normal life swiftly.
When it comes to endoscopic cranial surgery, choosing the right surgeon can make all the difference. Dr. Ravi Mohan Rao is widely recognized as one of the best neurosurgeons in Bangalore, known for his pioneering work in minimally invasive neurosurgery and his patient-centric approach.
