Dr. Costantino has been featured in Discovery Network's TLC (The Learning Channel) special "Amazing Medical Stories".

Part of this special depicted a patient's dramatic surgery to remove a life threatening tumor at the base of her brain. This non-cancerous tumor was going to effect her eyesight and mobilty, as well as be fatal. Dr. Costantino had to disassemble part of her face to create a large enough pathway through her mouth to allow Dr. Sen to successfully the remove the brain tumor.

Since all of this life saving surgery was done through the patient's mouth, there are no scars on her face. The result is that she can return to living a normal life, with complete functionality.
