The Fortis Institute of Minimally Invasive Brain & Spine Surgery was inaugurated at the first annual neurosciences conclave hosted by Fortis Institute of Neurosciences, Mumbai.
The institute will be helmed by Dr Jayesh Sardhara, Director-Dept. of Minimally Invasive Brain & Spine Surgery, Fortis Hospitals Mumbai. The inaugration took place in the presence of Dr Bishnu Panighari, Group Head-MSOG, Fortis Healthcare; Dr S. Narayani, Business Head, Fortis Hospitals Maharashtra; and Dr Vishal Beri, Facility Director, Fortis Hospital Mulund, along with other clinicians and administrative leaders.
The two-day conclave, titled ‘Current Update on Advanced Neurosciences’, brought together leading clinicians, surgeons, academicians, and healthcare professionals across the country to deliberate on the latest advancements and evolving practices across neurology, neurosurgery, and minimally invasive spine care.
The scientific program features expert-led sessions including keynote lectures, surgical video demonstrations, panel discussions, consensus statements, and interactive Q&A forums. Key highlights include discussions on recent advances in stroke management, neuro-oncology, minimally invasive brain and spine surgery, and management of neuro-critical emergencies.
Dr Sardhara said, “The field of neurosciences is advancing rapidly, and it’s important for clinicians to keep pace with the latest innovations and evidence-based practices. Through this conference, we aim to create a platform that brings experts together, encourages the exchange of ideas, and helps improve patient outcomes. Minimally invasive neurosurgery represents the future of our specialty, where precision, technology, and innovation allow us to treat complex neurological conditions with smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, and faster recovery for patients.”
Dr Beri added, “This conference reflects our commitment to advancing clinical excellence and building strong academic ecosystems. By bringing together experts from diverse neuro focus areas, we are enabling meaningful discussions that translate into better, more integrated care for patients with simple to complex neurological conditions.”
Dr Narayani said, “At Fortis Mumbai, we continuously strive to strengthen platforms that drive knowledge-sharing and innovation in healthcare. This conference is a significant step in reinforcing our focus on advanced neurosciences and supporting the medical community with insights that enhance both clinical practice and patient care delivery.”
