The Department of Neurosurgery and Spine Care at PES Hospitals has been conferred the prestigious National Surgical Innovation Award 2026 at the Indian Neurosciences Summit in New Delhi. The honor recognizes the faculty’s groundbreaking work in tubular micro-endoscopic spine surgery and awake craniotomy brain mapping.
The team’s published clinical data on over 1,200 endoscopic lumbar and cervical discectomies demonstrated an average hospital stay of less than 24 hours with zero surgical site infections.
Pioneering Micro-Tubular Keyhole Surgery
Using 16mm micro-tubular retractors and high-magnification intraoperative neuro-microscopes, PES neurosurgeons access deep spinal lesions without disrupting paraspinous musculature, allowing patients to resume normal sedentary work within 72 hours.
Minimally invasive neurosurgery transforms complex brain and spine pathology from debilitating conditions into outpatient and fast-track procedures.
