36 Hours, One Outcome: Redefining Complex Skull Base Care
A press meet conducted on 28th March in Kolkata brought focus to a landmark 36-hour multidisciplinary surgery at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, highlighting advancements in managing complex skull base tumours through coordinated care.
Mr. Dipanjan Bhattacharjee, a 48-year-old senior advocate, experienced persistent headaches, hearing loss, and dizziness that gradually impacted his daily life, before being diagnosed with a large skull base brain tumour requiring advanced surgical intervention.
The media interaction highlighted the importance of seamless collaboration across Neurosurgery, ENT, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, and Anaesthesia to not only address complex tumours but also prioritise functional preservation and long-term quality of life.
