Fellowship in Spine Surgery

Fellowship Program Description

The goal of the Spine Surgery Fellowship is to provide MCI (Medical Council of India) recognized post graduates of orthopaedic surgery with clinical experience in preparation for an academic or private practice career in spine surgery. It is designed to provide fellows with intensive training and broad exposure in diagnosis and treatment of common spinal disorders, and research.

The fellow will learn to evaluate and treat routine and complicated areas of the spine — cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and lumbo-sacral — both surgical and non-surgical methods of treatment. A rotated schedule permits the fellow to have equal experience with each of spine surgeons and in the various areas of learning.

Cervical Spine

Comprehensive training in cervical region diagnosis & treatment

Thoracic Spine

Expert exposure in thoracic spinal disorder management

Lumbar & Sacral

Hands-on experience with lumbo-sacral surgical procedures

Testimonials

Hear from our Fellows

Dr. Devanand

Fellow

Right from the beginning I was welcomed into the Stavya family and it was there that I learnt all the basics of spine surgery including exposure, pedicle screw fixation, laminectomy, discectomy, inter body fusion. I assisted during spinal tumour surgeries and was exposed to a whole spectrum of spine pathologies including trauma, degenerative, deformity, and inflammatory conditions.

Dr. Bharat Dave is an amazing person and Dr. Ajay Krishnan helped me not only during surgeries but also guided me so that I could present my first national level paper at ASSICON held in Mumbai. I enjoyed each and every minute of my work at SSHRI. I thank the staff, physiotherapists and especially the anaesthetists who made my Fellowship a memorable one.

I must say that I learnt more than just about spine at SSHRI.

Dr. Ranganath Babu

Consultant Spine Surgeon

I joined as a Fellow for 6 months at Stavya and my learning has been immense. From the simplest procedures to the most complex, I was exposed to it all. The consultants are excellent and taught me the finer details they had learnt from years of practice.

Thanks to my time here, I even published a paper in IJO. I am very thankful to Dr. Bharat Dave and Dr. Ajay Krishnan for making this a wonderful place for Fellows to learn.

Dr. Himanshu Ram

Fellow

Within the first few days of my time at Stavya, I was amazed to see the quality and volume of spine work done here. With God’s grace I had two teachers who were unique in their own ways — Dr. Bharat Dave taught me how to approach a spine patient, and Dr. Ajay Krishnan taught me about academics, research, and publishing work.

I was fortunate enough to assist in more than 450 spine surgeries in just 7 months. I learned about traumatic, degenerative as well as reconstructive surgeries — a feat hardly achievable in such a short period.

No words can describe my experience at Stavya, nor will I ever be able to repay my teachers for all that they have taught me. They helped me become not only a better surgeon but also a better individual.

Dr. Ankur Nanda

Fellow

I worked in SSRI from 2007–2008 and it was a great experience for me. I learned the very basics of spine surgery under the able guidance of Dr. Bharat Dave, who is an excellent spine surgeon.

He has been my mentor and not only did I grow as a spine surgeon at SSRI, but also as a human being. Dr. Dave has been running this institute like a family and the patients admitted here feel very much at home.

I wish him and the institute the very best.
