Authentic neurosurgical insights, brain and spine health articles, surgical guidance, and preventative tips by Senior Neurosurgeon Dr. Dilip S. Kiyawat in Pune.
Brain Care
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. While many patients achieve seizure control with medications, some continue to experience frequent seizures despite taking anti-epileptic drugs. In such cases, epilepsy surgery may offer a safe and effective treatment option. Dr. Dilip S.
Spine Care
OPLL (Ossification of Posterior Longitudinal Ligament) is a progressive spinal disorder in which the ligament running along the back of the spinal vertebrae gradually hardens and turns into bone. As this abnormal bone formation increases, it can compress the spinal cord and nerves, leading to neurological symptoms and mobility issues.
Spine Care
Neck pain is a common problem that many people experience due to poor posture, prolonged computer use, aging, or injury.

Spine Care
Back pain, neck pain, slipped discs, spinal stenosis, and other spine disorders can significantly impact daily life, mobility, and overall well-being. While traditional spine surgeries often involve larger incisions and longer recovery periods, Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) offers a modern approach with smaller incisions, reduced tissue damage, and faster healing.
Brain Care
Brain tumors are among the most serious neurological conditions, affecting the brain’s normal functioning and potentially leading to life-threatening complications if left untreated. One of the most important factors in successful treatment is early diagnosis. Detecting a brain tumor at an early stage can significantly improve treatment outcomes, reduce complications,
