Trans-sphenoidal hypophysectomy (adenomectomy) in Cura Hospitals
About the clinic
Trans-sphenoidal hypophysectomy at Cura Hospitals in Bengaluru, India, is a specialized procedure used to remove pituitary tumors through the sphenoid sinus. The surgery is performed by neurosurgeon Dr. Abhay Sikaria using minimally invasive techniques to access the brain without large incisions. The clinic holds NABH accreditation, showing it meets national safety and quality standards for healthcare in India.
Advanced Surgical Technology
Cura Hospitals uses modern tools to help with delicate brain surgeries. The facility features robotic-assisted surgery systems that help doctors perform precise movements in small spaces. A 3T MRI is also available on-site for detailed imaging. These tools help the surgical team map the brain and tumor location clearly. Using the trans-sphenoidal approach means the surgeon reaches the pituitary gland through the nose or under the upper lip. This method often leads to a faster recovery than traditional open-skull surgery.
Specialized Neurosurgical Care
Dr. Abhay Sikaria leads the neurosurgery efforts for these cases. Dr. Sikaria is a trained neurosurgeon who holds MBBS, MS, and MCh degrees. His focus includes brain tumor surgery and minimally invasive neurosurgery. This specific training is vital for adenomectomy, as the pituitary gland sits near critical structures like the optic nerves. The medical team at the hospital focuses on removing the tumor while protecting healthy brain tissue.
Hospital Standards and Infrastructure
The hospital operates under the NABH Small Healthcare Organization requirements. This certification confirms that the facility follows strict protocols for patient care and infection control. For patients traveling from outside Bengaluru, the clinic provides a dedicated team to assist with treatment planning. This group helps manage the logistics of the visit so the patient can focus on their procedure and recovery. The infrastructure is designed to support both complex brain surgeries and the post-operative monitoring required after a hypophysectomy.
