Hrayr Shahinian, M.D., F.A.C.S. is exclusively a skull base surgeon and founder of the (Skull Base Institute (SBI) ). Since 1994 Dr. Shahinian has pioneered numerous new endoscopic surgical techniques to treat a variety of skull base disorders and is nationally and internationally recognized as one of the first surgeons in the world to use and pioneer endoscopic skull base surgery. He is Board Certified by the American Board of Surgery and licensed to practice in California since 1996. He completed his undergraduate studies at the American University of Beirut in 1981 and earned his M.D. in 1985. He earned both degrees with distinction and has been an active member of the honor medical society, Alpha Omega Alpha. In 1986, Dr. Shahinian was recruited to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he completed an internship and residency in general surgery. In 1991, Dr. Shahinian went to New York University’s Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery, the premier craniofacial program in the nation where he completed a two-year fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=NYU Lagone Medical Center )〕 Thereafter, in 1993, he completed a fellowship in skull base surgery and neurotology in the (Department of Head and Neck Surgery ) in Zurich, Switzerland under the tutelage of Professor Ugo Fisch, the preeminent skull base surgeon in the world at the time. In 1994, Dr. Shahinian completed a second fellowship, in craniofacial surgery, at New York University. He was certified by the American Board of Surgery in 1992, recertified in 2003 and 2014, and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons since 2002. From 1994-1996, Dr. Shahinian served as an Assistant Professor of Surgery and Neurosurgery at the State University of New York at Stonybrook, during which time he was also Co-Director (1994-1995), and then Director (1995-1996) of the University’s Skull Base Institute . In 1996, Dr. Shahinian was recruited by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to establish and head its Division of Skull Base Surgery and to direct its Skull Base Institute. Dr. Shahinian accepted the offer, relocated to California and was instrumental in establishing what has become one of the country’s largest practices specializing in minimally-invasive endoscopic skull base and brain tumor surgery: The (Skull Base Institute (SBI) ) in Los Angeles. As Director of SBI for nearly 20 years, Dr. Shahinian has been actively involved in the treatment of a wide variety of skull base and brain tumors including pituitary tumors, meningiomas, acoustic neuromas, craniopharyngiomas, pineal tumors, and intracranial neurovascular conflicts such as trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm in thousands of patients, both nationally and internationally. Dr. Shahinian provides a less invasive alternative to the procedures traditionally advanced by neurosurgeons. Neurosurgeons from the United States as well as Barcelona, Marseilles, Brussels, Cairo, Kiev, Rome and Czech republic have come to Dr. Shahinian for observation and training in Skull Base Surgery. In the past year, patients from Norway, Ireland, Canada, Israel, the United Kingdom, Cyprus, and most of our 50 states have had surgeries via the endoscopic approaches pioneered by SBI with excellent results. Dr. Shahinian has received many awards for his work in skull base surgery and has shared his experience and expertise in numerous journal articles, textbook chapters, and national and international presentations. He is also the author of the textbook, “Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery,” which was published by Humana Press in 2009,〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Humana Press )〕 and was one of the top 25% most downloaded eBooks in the on-line publisher’s collection in 2013. Dr. Shahinian holds a number of patents and has thrice received the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Innovation Award in 2008, 2011 and 2012 for his work in the field of advanced medical technology. Currently, he is working with NASA on the development of a multi-angle rear-viewing endoscopic tool (MARVEL), which will be the world’s first 3D/HD rotating endoscope less than 4.0 mm in overall diameter and will further advance the field of endoscopic skull base brain surgery.
