Dr. Varindera Paul Singh

Dr. Varindera Paul Singh is Chairman - Neurosciences at Medanta, Gurugram, with about 43 years of experience reported by Medanta. His neurosurgical work spans cranial, spinal and peripheral-nerve disease. He previously held senior academic and clinical roles at AIIMS, VIMHANS and Apollo Hospital before joining Medanta.

His principal areas of expertise are brain tumour surgery, cerebrovascular surgery, epilepsy surgery and radiosurgery. Medanta reports that he has operated on more than 400 intracranial aneurysms and is actively involved in treating arteriovenous malformations with radiosurgical techniques. His practice includes complex decision-making between open microsurgery and focused radiosurgery depending on lesion anatomy and risk.

Dr. Singh is credited by Medanta with starting the Gamma Knife Unit and the epilepsy-surgery programme at AIIMS, New Delhi. His academic record includes more than 70 papers in journals and books, together with awards for work presented at neurosurgical and epilepsy meetings. This background supports multidisciplinary assessment of difficult brain and vascular disorders and surgical epilepsy cases.

For patients referred to Medanta, brain MRI, CT angiography or digital subtraction angiography, EEG and prior surgical records may be important depending on the diagnosis. Treatment planning considers tumour location, vascular anatomy, seizure focus, neurological findings and previous therapy before selecting surgery, radiosurgery or another approach.

Complex cases may also require input from neuroradiology, neurology, neuro-oncology, intensive care or rehabilitation teams before a final plan is agreed.
