Patient Testimonial
Led by Neuro Surgery Chairman Dr. Sachin kandhari, MD, the Skull Base Surgery Center at IBS Hospitalb is one of the few multidisciplinary centers throughout the world dedicated to the evaluation and treatment of benign and malignant tumors of the skull base (floor of the cranium). These tumors can arise in various sites at the base of the eye socket, behind the nasal cavity, surrounding the inner ear, or within the cheekbones.
IBS Hospital has a long established history as a leader in the minimally invasive treatment of the full range of skull base tumors and lesions. Our team pioneered surgical techniques in the reconstruction of the arteries at the base of the brain and in microvascular free tissue transfer. We continue this tradition of leadership and excellence through the use of transoral robotic surgery (TORS), 3-D navigation planning, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM), surgical simulation, and cutting edge research in order to provide patients with the safest and highest quality of care possible.
Depending on the type of tumor and the specific location there are many different surgical approaches that can be implemented. After proper diagnosis, which in most cases is done by a surgical biopsy, all of our patients are discussed during a multidisciplinary tumor board, comprised of surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists.
Surgical treatment includes both open (external-skin incisions) and minimally invasive (without incisions) techniques, depending on the type and location of the tumor. Our surgeons
at the Skull Base Surgery Center are fellowship-trained in both open and minimally invasive/endoscopic skull base surgery.
In the past decade there have been significant advances in technology to allow surgeons to perform procedures at the skull base without the need for incisions on the face or head. These surgeons have been specially trained to use high-definition telescopes, intraoperative neuronavigation and specialized instruments to safely perform surgery at the skull base.

All skull base surgery patients are scheduled for several follow-up appointments that include a post-operative checkup and surveillance. In addition, we provide various support services, such as rehabilitation and speech therapy. We ensure that each patient also has proper follow-up with the neurosurgery team and medical oncologists. Our goal is to provide seamless multidisciplinary care to monitor our patients' progress and prevent their cancer from returning.
We feel a sense of pride to share the inspiring and uplifting accounts of individuals who have overcome medical challenges with courage, strength, and resilience. These amazing people offer hope to others who may be facing similar health issues.
IBS Hospital’s patient stories highlight the incredible spirit and determination of our patients who refuse to give-up and the unwavering support of their families and caregivers.

Brain surgery can be defined as a medical procedure which aims at correcting structural and functional problems of the brain. Such procedures are usually complex and can be of several different types. It is pertinent to note that the type of surgery that a patient needs depends on various factors such as the condition that is being treated, the medical history of the patient, the age of the patient and their personal preference.
