The Advanced Rhinology and Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery Fellowship Program at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is an intensive one-year program dedicated to the training and education in advanced rhinology and skull base techniques. We prepare fellows for a career in academic rhinology by teaching outpatient and surgical management of paranasal sinus and skull base pathology. Under the leadership of our esteemed faculty from the departments of Otolaryngology and Neurosurgery, fellows engage in groundbreaking and innovative research and benefit from an environment that fosters professional and personal growth within the field of rhinology and skull base surgery.
Fellows are exposed to a comprehensive surgical caseload consisting of inflammatory and neoplastic pathology involving the paranasal sinuses, skull base, and orbit. Working at The Mount Sinai Hospital and New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, you will become well versed in primary and revision sinus cases, as well as endoscopic and open approaches to the skull base. Surgical cases and procedures include:
- Benign and malignant tumor resections
- Cryoablation
