Ongoing Research & Clinical Interests

• Tuberculosis of spine — surgical management and outcomes
• Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture treatment
• Cervical disc disease and deformity correction
• Minimally invasive spinal fusion techniques

A patient with Grade IV cervical spondylotic myelopathy (C3–C7) presenting with progressive weakness of all four limbs achieved significant neurological recovery following anterior cervical decompression and fusion under Dr. Das's care at ISIC New Delhi.

A patient with multi-level thoracic TB spine with kyphotic deformity and paraplegia was successfully managed with posterior instrumentation and anterior decompression, regaining ambulatory function after intensive rehabilitation — a landmark outcome for TB spine surgery in India.

• Patient Education: Reviewers consistently describe Dr. Das as a doctor who takes time to explain spinal conditions and surgery in non-technical terms, making patients feel informed and at ease.
• Surgical Empathy: Described as a genuine friend, philosopher, and guide by patients who note his ongoing personal support long after surgery.
• Complex Case Capability: Patients who had been told by multiple other surgeons that their spine conditions were too complex consistently report successful outcomes under Dr. Das's care.

Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Das takes a patient-centred, minimally invasive-first approach to spine surgery. He is known for advocating conservative surgical techniques wherever possible and for empowering patients to make fully informed decisions about their spinal health. He personally conducts detailed post-operative counselling and remains accessible to patients and families throughout recovery.

Technology & Innovation

Dr. Das employs modern spinal instrumentation including pedicle screw-rod systems, expandable titanium cages, and motion-preserving disc replacement devices. His UK (Mandeville Hospital) and Italian (Ospedale San Raffaele, Milan) fellowship experience grounds him in internationally current minimally invasive spinal techniques. He is one of India's leading authorities on surgical management of TB spine.
