Advanced Neuro‑Navigation Helps Team Safely Remove Skull‑Base Projectile

The removal of a one‑centimetre bullet lodged deep within the cranial base was made possible by cutting‑edge neuro‑navigation technology, C‑arm imaging, and endoscopic assistance. Led by Dr. Vernon Velho and Prof. Dr. Srinivas Chavan, the joint neurosurgery‑ENT team precisely mapped the bullet’s location, avoiding damage to the nearby internal carotid artery. The operation demonstrates how modern imaging and collaborative surgical approaches can overcome some of the most challenging scenarios in neurosurgical practice.
