Dr. Sunit Mediratta — Senior Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Sunit Mediratta is a Senior Consultant at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi NCR, with more than 22 years of experience in neurosurgery.

His list is cranial. He performs brain tumor surgery, skull base tumor surgery and skull base surgery, pituitary tumor surgery, craniotomy, endoscopic brain surgery and epilepsy surgery.

His qualifications run to five entries before his fellowships. After MBBS he took an MS, then the MCh in neurosurgery and a DNB, and is a member of the National Academy of Medical Sciences.

His two fellowships were taken abroad in successive years and in different areas of the specialty. The first was a cerebrovascular surgery fellowship at Fujita Health University in Nagoya, Japan, in July 2009. The second was a spinal surgery fellowship in minimally invasive techniques at Hochtaunusklinik in Bad Homburg, Germany, in August 2010. Between them they add vascular and spinal training to a listed practice that is otherwise built on cranial tumour resection and epilepsy surgery.

The procedures themselves fall into three groups. Brain tumor surgery, skull base tumor surgery, skull base surgery and pituitary tumor surgery are the tumour work, and the skull base entries indicate where much of it sits. Craniotomy and endoscopic brain surgery are the two approaches recorded. Epilepsy surgery stands apart from both as the one non-tumour indication on the list.

He practises at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals in Delhi, and holds the MCh and the DNB in neurosurgery alongside membership of the National Academy of Medical Sciences.
