- Vascular & Skull Base Expert: He is highly specialized in Cerebral Aneurysm Clipping and the removal of complex Skull Base Tumors. His ability to navigate the most delicate areas of the brain stem and cranial nerves is respected globally.
- Leadership in Neurosciences: Under his leadership, the Neurosciences department at Medanta has become one of the most advanced centers in Asia, utilizing intra-operative MRI and robotic navigation to ensure patient safety.
Dr. Singh provides a comprehensive spectrum of care for the brain, spine, and central nervous system.
Conditions & Diseases Treated:
- Brain Tumors: Gliomas, Meningiomas, Pituitary tumors, and Acoustic Neuromas.
- Neurovascular Disorders: Brain Aneurysms and Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs).
- Movement Disorders: Parkinson’s Disease and Dystonia (requiring DBS).
- Spinal Disorders: Spinal cord tumors and complex degenerative spine disease.
- Trigeminal Neuralgia: Specialized surgical and radiosurgical relief for facial pain.
Specialized Surgical Procedures:
- Gamma Knife Radiosurgery: Non-invasive radiation for brain tumors and vascular issues.
- Micro-Neurosurgery: High-precision, microscope-assisted brain and spine surgery.
- Brain Aneurysm Clipping: Life-saving vascular surgery to prevent hemorrhages.
- Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): Precision neuromodulation for Parkinson’s.
- Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery: Removing tumors through the nasal passage.
- Image-Guided Surgery: Utilizing real-time navigation for sub-millimeter accuracy.
Dr. Singh has held some of the most influential leadership and academic positions in the Indian medical landscape:
- Chairman (Neurosciences): Medanta – The Medicity, Gurugram (Current).
- Professor of Neurosurgery: All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi.
