Dr. Shyam Kishore Mishra is a Consultant Neurosurgeon associated with Fortis Hospital, Anandapur, Kolkata. His clinical expertise includes neurosurgery, neuroendoscopy, vascular neurosurgery, brain tumour surgery, and spine surgery. His official Fortis Healthcare profile lists 24 years of experience, while a supplementary medical profile reports more than 26 years. He focuses on the surgical management of neurological conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and associated nervous system structures.
Dr. Shyam Kishore Mishra completed his MBBS from the Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, followed by an MS in General Surgery from Banaras Hindu University. He subsequently completed his MCh in Neurosurgery from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi. This specialist surgical training forms the foundation of his work in complex brain and spine conditions.
One of Dr. Mishra's documented areas of interest is neuroendoscopy, including endoscopic third ventriculostomy and endoscopic pituitary surgery. Neuroendoscopic techniques use specialized instruments and visualization systems to reach selected areas within the brain through smaller surgical approaches. These procedures may be considered for particular conditions affecting cerebrospinal fluid circulation or the pituitary region, depending on the diagnosis and anatomical findings.
His clinical interests also include vascular neurosurgery, particularly the management of cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations. His official hospital biography identifies aneurysm clipping and treatment of arteriovenous malformations among his areas of interest. These conditions require careful evaluation using neurological examination and appropriate vascular imaging to determine the most suitable treatment approach.
Dr. Mishra's documented neuro-oncology interests include skull-base tumours, acoustic neuromas, and meningiomas. Brain and skull-base tumour surgery may require detailed planning to protect important neurological structures and preserve function wherever possible. His supplementary profile also identifies brain tumour resection, spinal instrumentation, degenerative disc surgery, and head trauma management among his clinical areas of expertise.
At Fortis Hospital, Anandapur, Kolkata, Dr. Shyam Kishore Mishra provides specialist neurosurgical care for patients requiring evaluation of brain, spine, and nervous system disorders. Treatment decisions depend on clinical assessment, diagnostic imaging, the nature of the neurological condition, and individual patient factors. Patients seeking consultation for complex neurosurgical problems can contact the hospital to confirm current appointment arrangements and treatment availability.
Neuroendoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive neurosurgical approach that uses a specialized camera and instruments to access selected areas of the brain. It may be used for certain ventricular and intracranial conditions. The suitability of neuroendoscopy depends on the diagnosis, anatomical location, imaging findings, and the patient's overall medical condition.
Endoscopic third ventriculostomy is a neurosurgical procedure used in selected patients with obstructive hydrocephalus. A small opening is created in the floor of the third ventricle to allow cerebrospinal fluid to bypass an obstruction. Patient selection depends on the cause of hydrocephalus, anatomy, age, and clinical assessment.
Endoscopic pituitary surgery is a minimally invasive approach used to treat selected pituitary tumours and related conditions. The procedure commonly involves reaching the pituitary region through the nasal passages using an endoscope. Treatment planning depends on tumour size, location, hormonal activity, surrounding structures, and relevant imaging investigations.
Cerebral aneurysm clipping is a microsurgical procedure used to treat selected brain aneurysms. A specialized clip is positioned across the aneurysm neck to prevent blood from entering the weakened area. The decision between surgical clipping, endovascular treatment, or monitoring depends on aneurysm characteristics, rupture status, and patient factors.
Brain arteriovenous malformations are abnormal connections between arteries and veins that may increase the risk of intracranial bleeding. Management depends on their location, size, vascular anatomy, and symptoms. Treatment options may include microsurgery, endovascular embolization, stereotactic radiosurgery, or observation following specialist multidisciplinary assessment.
Skull base tumour surgery addresses selected tumours located near the lower structures of the brain and skull. These procedures require careful planning because important nerves, blood vessels, and neurological structures may be nearby. Surgical techniques are selected according to tumour characteristics, accessibility, and the risks and benefits of intervention.
Acoustic neuroma, also called vestibular schwannoma, is usually a benign tumour involving the vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve. Treatment may involve monitoring, radiosurgery, or microsurgical removal depending on tumour size, growth, symptoms, and hearing status. Surgical planning considers facial nerve function and other important neurological structures.
Meningiomas are tumours that arise from the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Surgical removal may be recommended when a tumour causes symptoms, grows, or affects important neurological structures. Treatment decisions depend on tumour location, size, imaging characteristics, neurological findings, and the patient's overall health.
Brain tumour resection is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of a tumour within the brain. Neurosurgeons use clinical assessment and advanced imaging to plan the procedure and evaluate neurological risks. The extent of removal depends on tumour type, location, involvement of important brain regions, and patient safety.
Degenerative disc surgery may be considered for selected patients with spinal disc disease causing persistent nerve compression, neurological symptoms, or functional impairment. Surgical options depend on the affected spinal level and underlying condition. Treatment decisions generally follow clinical examination, imaging, and consideration of appropriate non-surgical management.
Spinal instrumentation involves the use of implants such as screws, rods, or other devices to stabilize selected parts of the spine. It may be considered for spinal instability, deformity, trauma, or certain degenerative conditions. Surgical planning evaluates spinal alignment, neurological function, bone quality, and the underlying diagnosis.
Head trauma management focuses on evaluating injuries affecting the brain and surrounding structures. Patients may require neurological monitoring, brain imaging, intensive medical treatment, or surgery depending on injury severity. Neurosurgical intervention may be needed for certain intracranial bleeding, mass effect, or complications that threaten neurological function.
