Reaching pituitary and skull base tumors through the natural path.
Choosing endoscopic brain surgery through the nose avoids the need for an open craniotomy. Shifara Health exists so that decision, and everything around it, is never yours to carry alone.
Transnasal Transsphenoidal Surgery (TNTS) is an advanced, minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure used to remove tumors in the pituitary gland or skull base. Surgeons access the tumor directly through the nostril and sphenoid sinus using high-definition endoscopic cameras and micro-instruments.
Because it avoids cutting through the skull or disturbing brain tissue, TNTS results in no visible scars, reduced pain, fewer complications, and a significantly faster recovery.
India’s skull-base surgery centers feature dedicated dual teams of neurosurgeons and ENT specialists performing endoscopic endonasal procedures daily. Supported by intraoperative navigation and hormonal care teams, Indian centers offer world-leading success rates at accessible costs.
We review your pituitary MRIs and hormone panels, arrange joint consultations with senior neuro-ENT surgical teams, and handle your visa, flights, and hospital bookings. You come prepared, not piecing things together on arrival.
Someone from our team is there. Your surgical team, your hospital, your room, already in place. You arrive as a patient who is expected and cared for.
From pre-operative nasal preparation through endoscopic resection and post-op endocrinology monitoring, our team stays close. We are the steady presence between you, your medical team, and your family back home.
Post-TNTS care focuses on nasal healing and hormone balance. We coordinate your post-op care, nasal care instructions, travel clearance, and follow-up teleconsultations with your neurosurgeon and endocrinologist. We do not step away at discharge.
We believe in transparency before commitment. The figure below is a starting point. Your Shifara Health advisor will share a personalised estimate based on your condition, your chosen hospital, and your care plan.
