Endoscopic Brain/Skull Base Surgeries
Endoscopic Brain treatment in Sarjapur Road, Bangalore
Endoscopic brain/skull base surgeries are minimally invasive surgeries that are performed using an endoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera attached to it. These surgeries allow the surgeon to see and operate on the patient's brain or skull base through small head incisions without making a large opening in the skull. These surgeries can often be performed using minimally invasive techniques, which can help to reduce the risk of complications and speed up the recovery process.
