Happy to share that Dr Sampath Chandra Prasad Rao and team were felicitated by Dr Manish Rai, Zonal Director of Manipal Hospitals and Dr Nayana Pai, Director of Manipal Hospitals, Old Airport Road, at the Town Hall meet at MHB Academy yesterday. Good evening Doctor,

A remarkable clinical achievement was made at Manipal Hospitals, Old Airport Road wherein the Skull Base Surgery Team, led by Dr. Sampath Chandra Prasad Rao, along with Dr Satwik Shetty, Dr Srikanth V, Dr Mayur Rai and Dr HS Murthy successfully completed a 36-hour marathon surgery on a 48 year old patient with a massive skull base tumour (spheno-petro-clival-jugular meningioma) that was previously considered inoperable by leading tertiary care centres in India.

In a single sitting, the team accomplished:
▪️ Complex skull base tumour resection
▪️ Hearing rehabilitation with Osia implantation
▪️ Facial & cranial nerve reanimation using cross facial anastomosis and tarsoraphy
▪️Transtemporal-transpetrous-translabyrinthine-Infratemporal fossa-approach
▪️ Multidisciplinary approach involving Skull Base Surgery, Neurosurgery and Plastic Surgery Teams

This is one of the first surgeries of its kind, showcasing the true multidisciplinary strength of our Skull Base, Neurosurgery & Plastic Surgery teams.

Patient has been discharged in a stable neurological condition. Also the new portfolio of OSI300 implant was performed for the first time in Karnataka as well.

A proud moment for us — reinforcing our capability to manage the most challenging skull base cases with world-class outcomes.

Captain Swamy, a retired government servant, approached Dr. Sampath Chandra with persistent nasal blockage and headaches, initially diagnosed as multiple nasal polyps. While nasal polyps are often benign and manageable, detailed evaluation and imaging revealed a more serious condition known as Inverted Papilloma—a rare, pre-malignant tumor with the potential to turn malignant if left untreated.
Further investigations showed extensive involvement of the skull base, nasal septum, sphenoid sinus, and surrounding nasal structures. Dr. Sampath Chandra successfully performed a complete tumor clearance using an advanced endoscopic endonasal skull base technique, ensuring total removal through a minimally invasive, scar-less approach.
The patient recovered well post-surgery and is currently on regular follow-up, symptom-free, and leading a comfortable life. This case underscores the importance of expert diagnosis, timely intervention, and advanced ENT surgical care at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road.
