Breadth of Training
Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Whitefield, Bengaluru is one of India's premier neurosurgical centres, offering a high-volume training environment across the full range of cranial and spinal neurosurgery.
During his six-year neurosurgical training, Dr. Anand Akash gained exposure to a wide range of cranial and spinal procedures. His operative experience includes participation in decompressive craniectomy, burr-hole procedures, intracranial haematoma evacuation, brain tumour surgery, ventriculoperitoneal and other CSF diversion procedures, external ventricular drainage, cervical and lumbar decompression, lumbar discectomy, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), spinal instrumentation and fixation, cranioplasty, and endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal surgery.
In addition to operative experience, the residency provided comprehensive training in neurocritical care, perioperative management, and the non-surgical management of neurological conditions. Additional trauma training was undertaken at NIMHANS, Bengaluru.
