M.B.B.S., L.T.M.M.C., G.H., D.N.B. (Neurosurgery)
Since August 2015, I have been serving as a Consultant Neurosurgeon and Spine Surgeon at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi. In June 2022, I transitioned to Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai, and in June 2024, I rejoined Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals. Additionally, I hold the position of Honorary Neurosurgeon at Tirath Ram Shah Charitable Hospitals, Delhi. In the past, I have had the honor of being associated with Yatharth Super Speciality Hospitals, Chikitsa Noida Medical Center, Apollo Hospitals Noida, and Inlaks Hospitals, Mumbai.
Functional neurosurgery involves the restoration of neurological condition and function. We treat chronic neurological disorders with a variety of techniques, including highly focused neuromodulation and deep brain stimulation.
Traditionally, neurosurgeons use ablative surgeries to treat damaged regions of the neural axis. These include DREZ lesioning for brachial plexus injury, anterior lateral cordotomy for cancer pain, rhizotomy for spasticity, and pallidotomy for movement disorders.
Now, neuromodulation procedures are available and offer the advantages of safety and specificity. Neuromodulation is precisely targeted toward specific regions of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system and can be adjusted depending on the required therapy. Stereotactic techniques, modern imaging and precise electrophysiology are necessary for the application of deep brain stimulation for movement disorders and newer applications in epilepsy and neuropsychiatry.
