Dr Rahuram Sivasubramaniam, ENT surgeon specialising in rhinology and skull base surgery at Central Sydney ENT
Rhinology & Skull Base Surgery

Dr Rahuram Sivasubramaniam

BSc(med), MBBS (Hons), MS, FRACS (ORL-HNS)

Dr Rahuram Sivasubramaniam is a fellowship-trained rhinologist with particular expertise in endoscopic anterior skull base surgery. He completed his rhinology and skull base fellowship in Auckland, New Zealand, where he gained concentrated experience in the endoscopic management of sinonasal tumours, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, and complex inflammatory sinus disease. His training at one of Australasia's leading skull base centres equipped him with the technical precision required for procedures that operate millimetres from the brain, orbits, and major blood vessels.

As a published researcher and invited speaker at national and international ENT meetings, Dr Sivasubramaniam brings an evidence-based perspective to patient care. His academic work has contributed to the understanding of endoscopic approaches to the skull base and outcomes in revision sinus surgery. This research background means he stays at the forefront of evolving techniques and applies current best-evidence protocols to each surgical case. He is equally at home performing routine functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis as he is managing rare sinonasal pathology that demands advanced endoscopic skills.

Dr Sivasubramaniam consults at Burwood, Campbelltown, and Gregory Hills, providing patients across Western and South-Western Sydney with access to subspecialist rhinology care without needing a referral to a distant tertiary hospital. Referring doctors value his detailed correspondence, prompt availability for urgent cases, and willingness to discuss complex cases collaboratively before proceeding to surgery.
