“I was more afraid of the pain…[but] I didn't have any pain with the surgery. I'm telling you none… [Dr. Barham] speaks to you as a human, which is lovely...I survived and I was snorkeling five weeks later. I sent him a picture of me underwater at five weeks!"

Dr. Henry Barham's attention to excellence as an ENT and rhinologist makes him one of the top specialists in Louisiana. Although he is based in Baton Rouge, neurosurgeons across the southeast from Houston to Mobile, Alabama, refer their patients to PBSI, making Dr. Barham and his team one of the top pituitary and skull base go-to surgeons in the southeastern United States.

“My experience [with] Dr. Barham has been amazing! He’s personable, caring, and listens intently! After having cerebral spinal fluid leak symptoms for 9 yrs, 10 months, seeing a multitude of doctors, both in-state and out-of-state, I believe he has finally fixed me! He ordered the right tests. Sent me to an ear specialist for something that needed to be surgically repaired. I went back to him and he saw and repaired what I feel was the actual cause of the ear/brain trauma…I highly recommend him.”

What is endoscopic endonasal surgery?

Locate
Target & Treat
Heal
Minimally invasive endoscopic endonasal surgery helps doctors diagnose and treat certain conditions in the nose and sinuses without making large cuts on the skin.
Instead, they make very small incisions inside the nose or mouth. Through these tiny incisions, small tools called endoscopes are inserted to diagnose and treat illnesses or abnormalities like tumors, blockages, infections, and more.
This surgery is much less painful than traditional methods, takes less time, and often has a faster recovery period.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks

"The most common cause is nonsurgical (70–80%). 1–3% of acute head injuries result in a CSF leak. Conservative management is often the first step in managing CSF leaks resulting from acute trauma."

Skull Base Tumor Surgery

"There is always a great deal of uncertainty when a tumour (neoplasm) of the skull base or nose/sinus is diagnosed. Tumours can either be benign or malignant. The difference is that malignant tumours have a propensity to spread to other areas of the body. Both benign and malignant tumours can still be locally invasive (at the site of tumour origin)."

Pituitary Gland Tumors

"Sometimes, a pituitary tumor may press on or damage parts of the pituitary gland, causing it to stop making one or more hormones. Too little of a certain hormone will affect the work of the gland or organ that the hormone controls."
