Anil Kumar Kansal

Anil Kumar Kansal is the Director of the Department of Neurosurgery and Spinal Surgery at BLK Super Specialty Hospital.

The doctor performs surgical interventions for pathologies of the spine and brain.

The doctor specializes in:

• vascular neurosurgery - treatment of diseases of the blood vessels of the brain;
• functional neurosurgery - normalization of the central nervous system;
• epilepsy surgeries - removal or isolation of the area where the attack occurs;
• spinal surgery - surgical intervention on the spine.

The doctor uses in his work:

• endoscopy of the brain and spinal cord - during the intervention, the doctor uses a special optical device (endoscope) on the area being operated on;
• minimally invasive treatment method - a gentle operation without extensive tissue dissection.

The use of these surgical techniques allows avoiding damage to healthy tissues, minimizing blood loss and the formation of noticeable scars on the skin. The patient's rehabilitation is faster than with open intervention.
