Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery encompasses the diagnosis and management of a wide spectrum of conditions affecting the nose and paranasal sinuses, including smell disorders, chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps, allergies, epistaxis, benign and malignant tumours, infections, and both internal and external nasal deformities. Management may involve medical therapy, surgical intervention, or a combination of both, tailored to each patient’s needs.

Because nasal diseases can affect vital neighbouring structures such as the eyes and the brain, this subspecialty collaborates closely with ophthalmology and neurosurgery. The nasal cavity also serves as a key surgical corridor for accessing the pituitary gland and other skull base regions, highlighting the highly specialised and multidisciplinary nature of the field.
