Innovative Transnasal Approach
Endoscopic pituitary surgery has revolutionized the way tumors at the base of the brain are treated. Utilizing a 4 mm endoscope, surgeons can access the pituitary gland through a natural nasal corridor, avoiding the need for a skull cut, shaving, or visible scars. This minimally invasive technique ensures a quicker recovery and less discomfort for patients.
Advanced Visualization with 4K Technology
The use of a 4K camera combined with a Joimax HD endoscope provides unparalleled visualization during surgery. This high-definition view allows surgeons to navigate the nasal corridor with precision, opening the sphenoid sinus and exposing the cellar floor to reach the adenoma effectively. For larger tumors extending into the suprasellar space, the corridor can be widened further, all while maintaining the transnasal approach.
Collaborative Two-Surgeon Technique
At Apollo Hospitals in Secunderabad, the pituitary surgery is performed as a collaborative effort between Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti, a renowned neurosurgeon, and Dr. Vyshnavi Bommakanti, an ENT skull-base specialist. This two-surgeon team ensures optimal outcomes by combining their expertise in neurosurgery and ENT, maintaining the nasal corridor and efficiently removing the tumor.
Keyhole Endoscopic Spine Surgery
In addition to pituitary surgery, Dr. Kalyan Bommakanti specializes in keyhole endoscopic spine surgery. This technique involves a muscle-sparing approach using an 8mm portal, allowing for minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. The use of a Joimax HD endoscope ensures precise navigation and treatment of spinal conditions, enhancing recovery and reducing postoperative pain.
Functional Dynamic EMG for Enhanced Outcomes
Functional Dynamic EMG is employed during spine surgeries to monitor nerve function in real-time. This advanced technology aids in preventing nerve damage, ensuring safer surgical procedures and better patient outcomes.
