Carlos D. Pinheiro Neto, M.D., Ph.D.

Carlos Pinheiro Neto, M.D., Ph.D., is Board Certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology — Head and Neck Surgery and is sub-specialized in diseases of the nose, sinuses and skull base. He offers an individualized treatment for each patient, with the main focus to improve quality of life of patients who undergo endoscopic sinus or endonasal skull base surgeries by minimizing surgical trauma to the nose.

His extensive research is based on surgical anatomy to identify landmarks to make the surgery safer and development of innovative surgical techniques to improve outcomes. Dr. Pinheiro Neto has pioneered many surgical techniques to minimize the resection of intra-nasal structures during the removal of intracranial tumors through the nose and to reinforce the skull base reconstruction with composite flaps in selected patients. He has developed different techniques to improve cranial base reconstruction and minimize the risk of cerebrospinal fluid leaks after endonasal cranial base surgery.

Dr. Pinheiro Neto is an active member of the North American Skull Base Society and the American Academy of Otolaryngology — Head and Neck Surgery. He has been invited to conferences around the world to talk about his innovative research.
