Dr. Vishal Peshattiwar

Dr. Vishal Peshattiwar is Head of Spine Surgery at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai, with 26 years of practice. He completed MBBS at Seth G.S. Medical College and KEM Hospital and MS in Orthopaedics at T.N. Medical College and BYL Nair Hospital, followed by specialist training in France, Germany and Holland and a clinical fellowship at National University Hospital, Singapore.

His practice focuses on minimally invasive spine surgery, scoliosis and degenerative spine surgery. He performs minimally invasive discectomy and spine fusion, scoliosis correction and selected day-care spine procedures. Robotic and navigation-assisted spine surgery are also part of his current procedural work.

A major theme of his career has been developing minimally invasive approaches for complex spinal conditions. His training includes motion-preservation techniques and minimally invasive scoliosis surgery, and his current work combines conventional spine principles with smaller-access techniques where clinically suitable.

This is particularly relevant when surgery must address neural compression, instability, deformity or degenerative disease while limiting unnecessary tissue disruption.

Dr. Peshattiwar speaks English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati. His current hospital role is dedicated to spine surgery within the Bone & Joint/Orthopaedics and Minimal Access Surgery services.

Patients considered for surgery require correlation of symptoms with neurological examination and imaging; the appropriate approach may range from non-operative care to decompression, fusion, deformity correction or minimally invasive surgery depending on diagnosis, spinal stability, previous treatment and overall health. Robotic or navigation assistance is selected when it adds value to surgical planning and execution.
