Teaching. Leading. Advancing spine surgery.

Honoured to be invited as faculty at ASSICON 2026 for invited talks on
ALIF (Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion) and Lumbar Disc Replacement — procedures that are redefining modern lumbar spine care.

Proud to be part of the organising committee, engaging with mentors, peers, and the next generation of spine surgeons shaping the future of our specialty.

A special highlight was serving as faculty for the cadaveric course on Anterior Lumbar Exposure at AFMC, training 50 surgeons from across India.
Precision in anterior exposure is the cornerstone of safe, reproducible ALIF and disc replacement surgery — and cadaveric teaching remains the gold standard.

Grateful for platforms that allow us to standardise techniques, improve safety, and raise the bar in spine surgery education.

📍 Learning never stops. Leadership comes from sharing.

Surgeons before long scoliosis surgeries be like… 🏋️‍♂️🩺

Early morning.
Not in the OT yet.
In the gym.

Because surgeons are athletes too.
Long scoliosis surgeries demand strength, stamina, focus, and endurance—sometimes for hours at a stretch.

💡 Our most important surgical instrument isn’t just our hands… it’s our own body.

Regular training:
✔️ Keeps the surgeon fit
✔️ Reduces back pain & fatigue
✔️ Improves posture & ergonomics
✔️ Protects long-term quality of life
✔️ Helps us deliver better surgery, consistently

A tired body leads to poor ergonomics.
Poor ergonomics lead to pain.
Pain eventually affects performance—and life beyond the OT.

So to every surgeon watching this:
Train like an athlete. Operate like a professional. Age like a champion.

💪 Strong body. Sharp mind. Better surgery.

Creating Awareness in Spine Care
Chronic back pain due to disc degeneration is increasingly affecting young and active individuals.
Lumbar disc replacement is a motion-preserving, minimally invasive surgery, done through a small abdominal incision, allowing faster recovery and a potential return to full activity — when performed for the right patient.
This advanced procedure is performed by very few spine surgeons in India, and I am grateful to be the first spine surgeon in Pune to introduce and perform it.
Awareness matters.
Right diagnosis. Right indication. Right surgery.
Your spine should support your life — not limit it.

Unlike spine fusion, which permanently restricts movement at the operated level, disc replacement aims to maintain flexibility and reduce stress on adjacent spinal segments, making it particularly suitable for younger and active individuals.
