Ongoing Research & Clinical Interests

• Outcomes in awake craniotomy for eloquent cortex tumours
• Endoscopic versus open approaches in minimally invasive spine surgery
• Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring in complex neurosurgery

A patient with a large left temporal glioma involving the language cortex underwent awake craniotomy under Dr. Chaturvedi's supervision using continuous speech mapping, achieving gross total resection while preserving language function with return to professional work within eight weeks.

A patient with multi-level lumbar stenosis and neurogenic claudication underwent minimally invasive bilateral decompression via tubular retractors, achieving complete symptom resolution and discharge within 48 hours — avoiding open laminectomy.

• Expertise in Eloquent Cortex Surgery: Patients with brain tumours near speech and motor areas specifically value Dr. Chaturvedi's awake craniotomy experience for function-preserving resection.
• Minimally Invasive Spine Focus: Spine patients commend his preference for endoscopic and tubular retractor approaches, leading to shorter hospital stays and faster recovery.
• Thorough Pre-operative Planning: Patients note his detailed use of neuronavigation planning and imaging review before surgery, building confidence in the surgical approach.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Dhruv Chaturvedi approaches neurosurgery with a precision-first philosophy — every surgical plan is customised to the patient's tumour anatomy, neurological function, and recovery goals. He invests significant time in pre-operative patient education, particularly for awake craniotomy patients, explaining the procedure, intraoperative cooperation required, and expected neurological outcomes. Follow-up includes structured neurological and imaging review to assess oncological and functional outcomes.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Chaturvedi employs neuronavigation systems for tumour localisation, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (MEP, SSEP, cortical mapping for awake craniotomy), endoscopic platforms for transsphenoidal pituitary surgery and minimally invasive spine procedures, and tubular retractor systems for muscle-sparing spinal decompression. He collaborates with interventional neuroradiology for endovascular management of cerebrovascular lesions.
