Shashi Kala Kabra’s health journey began with a constant whistle-like sound in her ear, which later progressed to dizziness, bleeding, and complete hearing loss. After multiple scans, she was diagnosed with a paraganglioma, a rare skull base tumor, and was referred to Dr. Sampath Chandra Rao.

Using a combination of pre-operative embolization and a specially modified surgical approach, Dr. Rao and his team successfully removed the tumor while preserving vital nerve functions. Her recovery was smooth and complication-free, and she is now returning to Jaipur in good health.

Mr. Alok Modak, a 52-year-old resident of Kolkata, shares his powerful journey of recovery after being diagnosed with a large oral malignancy.

The multidisciplinary team, led by Dr. Sampath Chandra Prasad Rao, Program Lead – Skull Base Surgery and Consultant, ENT–Head & Neck Surgery in collaboration with plastic surgeons, performed an eight-hour surgical procedure, achieving full disease clearance, while preserving both oral function and facial aesthetics.

Post-surgery, Mr. Modak recovered remarkably well, regaining normal oral movement and confidence in his appearance. He expresses deep gratitude to Dr. Sampath and the Manipal Hospital team for their precision, compassion, and commitment to patient care.

World Skull Base

It is not about the idea. It is about making the idea happen.

Echoing this maxim, the genesis of World Skull Base Fellowship Diplomas was laid. What began as an idea, gathered strength by the tremendous interest that it generated in the medical fraternity. The event has grown beyond expectations bringing together specialists from various countries to the first ever course. I would like to express my sheer excitement and enthusiasm that the World Skull Base family is growing and we are all going to gather soon, in the beautiful city of Bangalore.

Skull Base Surgery involves skills in Neurosurgery, Otology, Head & Neck Surgery, Facial Plastics, Hearing and other neural rehabilitation. Gaining expertise in all these areas is an arduous task for a specialist focused in any one of these areas. Hence, for long, Skull Base Surgery has not been practiced in its entirety and it is also the reason why it lacks a structured training programme in most countries. It is this that we hope to address with these Fellowship Diplomas: to provide a structured curriculum based training programmed in both Lateral and Anterior skull base surgery.

The World Skull Base Fellowship Diplomas will be held in Lateral and Anterior Skull Base Surgery every alternating year. The modulated format has been developed to incorporate all topics in the subspecialty along with cadaveric hands on dissections. The Lateral Skull Base Fellowship Diploma includes 90 topics, 72 hours of dissections, 60 hours of lectures & 12 hours of video sessions. The Diploma has received an overwhelming response and is showing signs of a long journey.
