Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital has announced the opening of a comprehensive paediatric neuro skull-base unit, a first-of-its-kind initiative in the city designed to treat complex conditions in children, such as skull-base tumours, vascular abnormalities, infections, and trauma. These cases often require a multidisciplinary approach.
Established two months ago, the new unit is equipped to perform minimally invasive endoscopic surgeries, which reduce recovery time for patients. According to hospital representatives, the unit is staffed by a dedicated team of six specialists, including neurosurgeons and ENT endoscopic skull-base surgeons.
