Rhinology - Nasal sinus and skull base diseases
Nasal, Sinus and Skull Base Surgery: Endoscopic resection of benign and malignant tumors is performed using the latest technology, such as endoscopic image-guided surgery, where the surgeon knows at any point, where the instruments are anatomically, with the help of CT scan, and/or MRI fusion images. This permits the removal of lesions and tumors in a very delicate area, close to vital functions, while preserving function and avoiding complications. Malignant sino-nasal tumors are also removed endoscopically, and may occasionally require open surgery with reconstruction when indicated. Sino-nasal tumors can sometimes invade the skull base and go into the intracranial cavity. In these cases, a multidisciplinary team including otolaryngologists and neurosurgeons work together to excise these tumors. The combined knowledge and expertise of these specialists, along with others, form a skull base multidisciplinary team, which results in much better outcomes. Some it he diseases treated include:
- Inverted papilloma
- Meningo and encephalocele
- Gliomas
- Cerebro spinal fluid leaks
- Dermoid cysts
- Hemangiomas
- Mucoceles
- Squamous cell carcinoma
- Olfactory neuroblastoma (esthesio-neuroblastoma)
- Sarcomas
- Lymphomas
- Mucosal melanomas
- Hemangiopericytoma
- Metastatic tumors
