Three Decades at the Forefront of Neurosurgery
Dr. Manas Kumar Panigrahi is the Head of Department and Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon at KIMS Neuroscience, Secunderabad — one of the most experienced neurosurgeons in South India. His practice of over three decades spans brain tumour surgery, epilepsy surgery, functional neurosurgery (DBS and MRgFUS), cerebrovascular surgery, paediatric neurosurgery, and spine surgery.
After completing his MBBS from MKCG Medical College, Berhampur, he trained in neurosurgery at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, completing his MCh in Neurosurgery in 1994. He subsequently served as Professor of Neurosurgery at the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), Hyderabad. In 1999–2000 he was awarded a fellowship in skull base and cerebrovascular surgery at Wayne State University, Detroit, USA — a subspecialty training that shaped the advanced aneurysm, AVM, and skull base programme at KIMS.
At KIMS, Dr. Panigrahi's practice spans glioma surgery, epilepsy surgery, cerebellopontine angle tumour surgery, pituitary surgery, aneurysm surgery, DBS, and lumbar, cervical and endoscopic spine surgery. He pioneered DBS for Parkinson's disease at KIMS and was the first in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to introduce MRgFUS for tremor. KIMS became the first hospital in India to use the Stealth AutoGuide robotic cranial guidance platform under his leadership.
He has over 140 publications in national and international peer-reviewed journals and has contributed to neuroscience textbook chapters used in Indian postgraduate training.
