ABOUT DR. MOHNISH PRABHAKAR DIGHE

Dr. Mohnish Prabhakar Dighe is a skilled and experienced Consultant Neurosurgeon with over 12 years of expertise in neurosurgical care, specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of brain disorders, spinal conditions, neurotrauma, neurosurgical emergencies, stroke-related disorders, brain tumours, spine tumours, and degenerative spine diseases.

With advanced training in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, Dr. Dighe provides comprehensive care for patients requiring specialised surgical management of conditions involving the brain, spine, nerves, and central nervous system.

He has developed expertise in managing complex neurosurgical emergencies, traumatic brain and spinal injuries, cerebrovascular accidents (stroke/CVA), epilepsy, brain tumours, spinal tumours, and degenerative spine disorders, with a focus on restoring neurological function and improving long-term quality of life.

Dr. Dighe follows an evidence-based and patient-centred approach that combines timely intervention, precise surgical planning, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation, ensuring comprehensive neurological care for patients across all age groups.

His philosophy centres on early diagnosis, surgical precision, neurological preservation, and functional recovery.

PROFESSIONAL APPROACH

“Neurosurgery is about protecting and restoring the most vital functions of the human body. Early diagnosis, timely intervention, and precision treatment can significantly improve recovery and quality of life.”

Dr. Dighe follows a structured and comprehensive neurosurgical approach with emphasis on:

  • Accurate neurological diagnosis and imaging-based planning
  • Emergency neurosurgical care and intervention
  • Brain and spine disorder management
  • Minimally invasive treatment wherever appropriate
  • Neurological preservation and rehabilitation
  • Spine function restoration and mobility improvement
  • Patient education and long-term follow-up care
  • Multidisciplinary treatment planning

NEUROSURGERY SPECIALITY

Neurosurgery forms the foundation of Dr. Dighe’s clinical practice.

He specialises in the surgical management of disorders involving:

  • The brain
  • The spinal cord and spine
  • The central and peripheral nervous system
  • Trauma-related neurological injuries

His expertise includes treatment of brain tumours, spine tumours, neurotrauma, degenerative spine disorders, stroke-related neurosurgical conditions, epilepsy, and emergency neurological conditions.

His approach focuses on preserving neurological function, reducing disability, and improving long-term recovery.

NEUROSURGICAL EMERGENCIES & NEUROTRAUMA

Dr. Dighe has extensive experience in managing neurosurgical emergencies and neurotrauma, including severe neurological conditions requiring urgent intervention.

These include:

  • Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries
  • Brain haemorrhage and emergency stroke conditions
  • Spinal trauma and nerve injuries
  • Road accident-related neurological injuries
  • Emergency cranial and spinal procedures

Timely diagnosis and intervention are critical in improving neurological outcomes and preventing complications.

BRAIN AND SPINE TUMOUR MANAGEMENT

Dr. Dighe treats patients with brain tumours and spinal tumours, providing detailed evaluation and comprehensive neurosurgical care.

His treatment approach includes:

  • Imaging-based tumour assessment
  • Surgical planning and tumour removal
  • Neurological preservation strategies
  • Post-operative rehabilitation and monitoring

The goal is to improve neurological function while safely managing tumour-related complications.

SPINE DISORDERS & DEGENERATIVE CONDITIONS

Degenerative spine disorders can significantly affect mobility, posture, and quality of life.

Dr. Dighe manages a wide range of spinal conditions, including:

  • Chronic neck pain and back pain
  • Slipped disc (disc prolapse)
  • Degenerative spine disease
  • Spine tumours
  • Nerve compression disorders
  • Sciatica and radiating pain
  • Spine instability

Treatment may involve medication, rehabilitation, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery depending on severity.

EPILEPSY AND NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

Dr. Dighe also treats selected cases of epilepsy and neurological disorders that require neurosurgical evaluation or intervention, particularly when seizures are related to structural abnormalities affecting the brain.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When should I consult a neurosurgeon?
You should consult a neurosurgeon if you experience persistent headaches, weakness, numbness, severe neck or back pain, balance problems, seizures, head injury, spine-related symptoms, or neurological problems affecting daily function.
A neurologist treats neurological disorders using medicines and non-surgical methods, while a neurosurgeon specialises in surgical treatment of brain, spine, and nerve disorders when surgery or emergency intervention is required.
Symptoms may include persistent headaches, seizures, weakness, vision problems, memory issues, vomiting, speech difficulty, or behavioural changes depending on tumour location.
Yes. Many spine problems improve with medication, physiotherapy, posture correction, and rehabilitation. Surgery is considered when symptoms are severe, nerve compression exists, or conservative treatment fails.
Neurotrauma refers to injuries involving the brain, spinal cord, or nerves caused by accidents, falls, sports injuries, or trauma. Early treatment is essential for better recovery and prevention of complications.
Not necessarily. Treatment depends on the tumour type, size, location, symptoms, and patient health. Some tumours require surgery, while others may be managed with observation, radiation, or medication.
Spine surgery is considered when there is severe nerve compression, persistent pain, weakness, instability, slipped disc complications, or failure of conservative treatment.
Certain patients with epilepsy caused by structural brain abnormalities may benefit from neurosurgical evaluation and treatment when seizures are not controlled adequately with medication.
