Dr. V Anand Naik — Director – Spine & Limb Reconstruction in Delhi NCR

Dr. V Anand Naik is Director of Spine and Limb Reconstruction at Paras Hospitals, Gurugram, in Delhi NCR, with more than 25 years of experience across spine surgery and orthopedics.

His list covers the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. The reconstructive work covers spinal fusion surgery, disc replacement surgery and spinal deformity correction, and the decompression work spinal stenosis surgery. He also operates on spinal tumours, and degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis are the conditions named on his profile. Disc replacement appearing alongside fusion means both the motion-preserving and the fusion approach to degenerative disc disease are within his practice.

He holds MBBS and an MS in orthopaedics. Two further items on his qualifications are specific to the spine: an Advanced Spine Fellowship, and Post FRACS Spine Education and Training, a stage taken after the FRACS rather than before it.

His memberships describe where his technique comes from. He belongs to the Association of Spine Surgeons of India, the Minimal Invasive Spine Society of Bharat, the Society of Lateral Access Surgery and the North American Spine Society. Lateral access is a distinct route to the lumbar spine and has a society of its own, and his membership of it sits beside the minimally invasive body rather than duplicating it.

The directorship covers limb reconstruction as well as the spine, so his remit at Paras Health in Gurugram is broader than the spinal list alone.
