First assisted several neurosurgical procedures and on some performed neurophysiologic intra-operative monitoring:

Anterior cervical discectomy, corpectomy, vertabrectomy, lumbo-sacral decompression for adequacy of nerve root decompression, scoliosis correction, instrumentation for spinal instability including pedicle and lateral mass screws, stabilization of odontoid/dens fracture, spinal cord neoplasm, Pterygian band release, femoral lengthening, pelvic hip arthroplasty, peripheral nerve surgery, thermal capsulorrhaphy, acetabular fractures, spinal fusions with instrumentation and complicated hip revision surgery. Craniotomies also awake craniotomies for the tumor resection, functional mapping of brain, spinal cord neoplasm, diskectomies, laminectomies, aneurysms and instrumentation. In addition, seizure ablation surgeries also helped with localization of sub thalamic nuclei for tremor disorders. Further-more craniofacial – maxilla-facial , brachial plexus, spina-bifida, epilepsy and vascular Surgeries (AVM and Aneurysms).

Employed integrated functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) for pre-operative mapping of cortical areas associated with tactile, motor, language, and visual functions. Also made use of real time neurosurgical navigation for cranial and spine application with Stealth Navigation System & floronav intra-operatively.

Neurophysiologic intra-operative monitoring used different modalities like field action potentials FEP's for deep brain stimulation DBS , SSEP's, MEP's, , Evoked and free-run EMG's, Analog and Digital EEG's with FFT, CSA, DSA, Doppler studies and WADA testing with brain and cranial nerves mapping , fMRI and also image guidance for proper trajectory.

Time with multiple academic and as clinical faculty in the United States and overseas I have been integrally involved in the medical education, supervision, evaluation, and research mentorship of medical students, interns, residents and fellows under training.
Several years of participating in the education of fellow trainee junior to me and peers while attending residency, fellowship, as a faculty and respectively in private setup beside academics.
Over the years the bulk of my clinical practice and teaching efforts have been concentrated in the field of neurosciences where I played a prominent role nationally and internationally. In addition senior fellows undergoing subspecialty training in neurosciences have been directly under my tutelage. The daily teaching effort over the past several years had been supplemented by my role in educating physicians in practice through various sources. I also have been Ad Hoc reviewer of various neurosciences chapters.
