GUNTUR, ANDHRA PRADESH, INDIA, May 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a significant development highlighting India’s growing role in advanced neurosurgery, leading neurosurgeon Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla has been selected to present his clinical work at the SBNS100 Meeting organized by the Society of British Neurological Surgeons. The conference will be held at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre from October 13 to 16, 2026.— Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla, Neurosurgeon & Founder, Dr. Rao’s Hospital
Dr. Patibandla will present in the Spine Session on Friday, October 16, 2026, with a focused talk titled:
“Transnasal Endoscopic Odontoidectomy for Failed Posterior Craniovertebral Fusion: Salvage Decompression and Outcomes in 6 Complex Cases.”
Addressing a Critical Challenge in Spine Surgery
Failed craniovertebral junction (CVJ) fusion remains a challenging problem with limited standardized solutions globally. Some patients continue to experience persistent brainstem compression and neurological deficits even after posterior stabilization procedures.
Dr. Patibandla’s work explores the role of a transnasal endoscopic approach as a minimally invasive and targeted solution for such complex revision cases. This technique allows direct anterior decompression of the odontoid process while minimizing tissue disruption compared to traditional approaches.
A Complex Surgical Region with High Stakes
The craniovertebral junction is one of the most delicate anatomical regions in the human body, where the brain transitions into the spinal cord. Surgical intervention in this area requires advanced expertise due to the presence of critical neural and vascular structures.
The presented case series highlights:
Use of endonasal corridors for direct access
Effective brainstem decompression in revision cases
Management of failed posterior fusion scenarios
Outcomes in six highly complex patients
This approach supports the growing role of minimally invasive skull base techniques in selected spine surgery cases.
Recognition at a Global Neurosurgical Platform
The SBNS100 Meeting marks 100 years of the Society of British Neurological Surgeons and brings together leading neurosurgeons, researchers, and innovators from around the world.
Selection to present at this meeting reflects:
Clinical expertise
Contribution to complex surgical care
Recognition within the global neurosurgical community
From Guntur to the International Stage
Dr. Patibandla is the founder of Dr. Rao’s Hospital (https://drraoshospitals.com ), a center dedicated to advanced brain, spine, and nerve care in Andhra Pradesh, India.
From a regional base, his work has gained international attention through:
Management of complex neurosurgical cases
Adoption of minimally invasive techniques
Participation in global academic forums
This milestone reflects the increasing contribution of Indian neurosurgeons to international medical science.
International Training and Multidisciplinary Expertise
Dr. Patibandla has undergone extensive training in India and the United States, including fellowships in:
Minimally invasive skull base surgery
Pediatric neurosurgery
Neuro-oncology
Endovascular and cerebrovascular surgery
Functional and stereotactic radiosurgery
This diverse training allows integration of advanced surgical techniques with practical clinical application.
Advancing Revision Spine Surgery
Revision surgery for failed craniovertebral junction fusion presents multiple challenges, including altered anatomy, scar tissue, and persistent compression.
The transnasal endoscopic odontoidectomy technique offers:
Direct anterior decompression
Improved visualization of pathology
Reduced surgical morbidity
A focused approach in selected patients
This method contributes to evolving strategies for managing complex craniovertebral junction disorders.
Expert Commentary
“Revision surgery at the craniovertebral junction remains one of the most challenging areas in neurosurgery. Our experience suggests that transnasal endoscopic approaches can provide a safe and effective option in carefully selected patients, particularly when posterior fusion has not achieved adequate decompression,” said Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla.
Strengthening Global Medical Exchange
Participation in SBNS100 highlights the importance of international collaboration in advancing neurosurgical care. Knowledge exchange between global centers contributes to improved surgical outcomes and innovation in treatment approaches.
Institutional Vision for Advanced Neurosciences
