Anterior Skull Base Surgery
Endoscopic transnasal surgeries
Tumors that grow in the base of the skull—behind the eyes and nose—are some of the most challenging to treat. These tumors grow in an area that is very close to critical nerves and blood vessels in the brain, head, neck and spinal cord. Even benign (non-cancerous) tumors of the skull base can cause serious complications, such as vision or hearing loss and effects on growth, hormone production, fertility or balance. Fortunately, new minimally invasive surgical techniques have been developed in the last decade that make the removal of many skull base tumors possible without large and potentially dangerous incisions in the face or head. Using endoscopic instruments and neuronavigation, surgeons can now remove some tumors through the nostrils or through tiny incisions in the eyebrow or the back of the ear. At BEIRC, we are dedicated to the safest, most comprehensive treatment and removal of skull base tumors. Our highly skilled surgeons have extensive experience in both open and minimally invasive endoscopic surgery. A multi-disciplinary approach to these conditions ensures that a whole team of neurotologists, rhinologists, radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, medical oncologists, pathologists, and therapists will work towards the best possible outcome for your surgery. We deal with Pituitary Adenomas, Olfactory neuroblastomas (esthesioneuroblastomas), Sino-nasal malignancies, Craniopharyngiomas, Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibromas, Inverted Papillomas, Sino-nasal mucoceles, Chondroma Chondrosarcoma, Chordoma, Rathke’s cleft cyst, Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, Encephaloceles and Fibrous dysplasias

The ASLP unit also runs a state-of-the-art Cochlear Implant programme. It also perform newborn hearing screening and therapy for tinnitus


AUDIOVESTIBULAR TRAINING FOR COCHLEAR IMPLANTS
Rehabilitation therapy is necessary to maximize the benefits of the Cochlear Implant. The implantee is taught how to listen with the implant, and how to understand speech (and talk). These services are provided by audiologists, teachers, or speech language pathologists. The unit performs CI mapping and follow-up and speech perception test battery performed to assess unilateral CI progress and/or bilateral CI candidacy, as warranted.
VERTIGO CLINIC
At our vertigo center, we have the VNG (Video-nystagmography), cervical and ocular VEMPs (Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials) to assess inner ear function and help diagnose vestibular neuritis, BPPV, central vestibular disorders. Vestibular Rehabilitation is proven to be the most effective form of treatment for several forms of vestibular disorders. We perform maneuvers for BPPV and carry on personalized vestibular exercise programs.

The Voice Clinic’s mission is to provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art evaluation and management of voice disorders. A Videostroboscopy is designed to assess the motion and pliability of the vocal folds for voice production. The analysis of voice may include acoustic and aerodynamic analysis. The unit conducts evaluations for the use of Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) devices for people with severe communication impairments. The center deals in the management of both functional and organic voice problems. We perform all kinds of phonosurgical techniques like laryngeal injection techniques, laryngoplasty, and phonomicrosurgery.
SWALLOWING & DYSPHAGIA CLINIC
The Dysphagia Clinic has been established to serve as both a research and instructional lab. The Laboratory will also supply the educational and clinical experience required by students striving to become Speech-Language Pathologists who treat individuals with swallowing disorders. The Dysphagia Lab is equipped with state of the art equipment to evaluate swallowing and to analyze temporal and biomechanical aspects of swallowing. We conduct assessments aimed at assisting individuals with swallowing difficulty, medically termed dysphagia. We offer Modified Barium Swallow Studies (MBS), also known as a video-fluoroscopic swallow study which is an instrumental procedure conducted by both the SLP and radiologist to assess the anatomy and physiology of the swallow mechanism. The test will evaluate which postural positions and consistencies are most appropriate, safest and tolerable for patients with swallowing difficulties.


SLEEP LAB
A definitive diagnosis of sleep apnea can be made only with a sleep study conducted during a visit to a sleep lab, usually overnight, or a home study performed with special equipment. A sleep study generates several records of activity during several hours of sleep. These include an electroencephalogram, electroculogram, electrocardiogram, chest bands that measure respiration; and additional monitors that sense oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood and record leg movement.
