About Dr. Ankur Nanda
Dr. Ankur Nanda is an Associate Director of Spine Services at the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre (ISIC) in New Delhi, one of India's premier institutions dedicated to comprehensive spinal care. With over 23 years of clinical experience, he brings a genuinely international perspective to spine surgery, having completed specialized fellowship training in endoscopic spine surgery in Germany and spine surgery in Seoul, South Korea. His advanced credentials include MS Orthopaedics from NHL Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad, an MBA in Healthcare, and multiple AO Spine certifications, positioning him as a thought leader in modern spinal care.
Dr. Nanda's clinical practice encompasses the full spectrum of spinal pathology—from degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis to complex deformities such as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, kyphosis, and spinal tumors. He is particularly skilled in navigation-guided spine surgery, a precision technique that significantly improves surgical outcomes and reduces complications. His expertise covers cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine regions, with special proficiency in minimally invasive endoscopic procedures that minimize tissue trauma and accelerate recovery.
International patients from the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Africa, and the South Asian subcontinent regularly seek his expertise. Dr. Nanda's multilingual capability (English and Hindi) and his deep understanding of spinal pathology across diverse patient populations make him exceptionally well-positioned to manage complex cases referred from abroad. Many international patients value his combination of cutting-edge technique and conservative patient management philosophy.
The Indian Spinal Injuries Centre is accredited with NABH standards and equipped with state-of-the-art intraoperative navigation systems, advanced imaging (MRI, CT), and a dedicated spinal ICU. The hospital's specialized spinal rehabilitation services—including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and psychological support—ensure comprehensive recovery pathways that international patients increasingly seek. The hospital's international patient department facilitates seamless coordination of travel, accommodation, and post-operative follow-up care.
Dr. Nanda is an AO Spine Fellowship Officer and Council Member for the Indian Subcontinent, Chair of the ASSI Program Committee, and holds leadership roles in multiple national spine surgery societies. His published research appears in prestigious journals including SPINE and Spinal Cord (Nature), reflecting his commitment to advancing the field. For international patients considering spinal surgery in India, his combination of advanced training, proven track record, and institutional support at ISIC offers a compelling choice.
