It was a great honor and privilege to deliver the Dr. K. Sekaran Endowment Oration at the academic program organized by the ISO Hyderabad Branch in association with Govt. ENT Hospital and AOI Hyderabad. It was extra special to have delivered the Oration in front of the legend himself in whose honor the Oration was established. I spoke on “Skull Base Osteomyelitis: Changing the Paradigm,” which was accompanied by a live Temporal Bone Demonstration, making it an engaging and academically enriching session.
My sincere thanks to the organizing team led by Dr Anand Acharya , Dr Ravi Kishore Kancherla , Dr Dwarakanatha Reddy and Dr Kamal Kishore Bajaj for their excellent efforts in hosting such a well-organized and intellectually stimulating program.

Wishing you a Holi filled with positivity, harmony, and new beginnings.

36 Hours That Mattered Most: Precision Care Behind His Second Innings | Manipal Hospital

When confronted with one of the most extensive and complex brain tumors, hope needed the backing of extraordinary expertise.
At Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, a highly coordinated multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Sampath Chandra Prasad Rao, Program Lead – Skull Base Surgery, along with Dr. Sathwik R Shetty, Consultant – Neurosurgery; Dr. Srikanth V, Consultant – Plastic, Reconstructive & Cosmetic Surgery; Dr. Mayur Shetty, Consultant – Plastic Surgery; Dr. H S Murthy, HOD & Consultant – Anesthesiology; and Dr. Jalaja K R, Consultant – Anesthesiology, undertook an exceptionally complex 36-hour skull base surgery.
This was followed by a rare crossed facial nerve reconstruction, successfully restoring facial function while preserving the healthy side—an achievement that reflects the highest levels of precision and collaboration.

Today, the patient smiles, speaks, and steps confidently into life’s second innings.
Because when precision meets teamwork and compassion, outcomes can be life-changing.

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.
