Cervical Spine (Neck) Issues
Advanced solutions for neck pain and radiating arm pain. We perform Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) and Disc Replacement to restore neck alignment and function.
Spine Fractures & Instability
Structural correction for spinal deformities and trauma. Treatments include fixation for slipped vertebrae (Spondylolisthesis) and cement augmentation (Vertebroplasty) for osteoporotic fractures.
Minimally Invasive (MIS) & Endoscopic Spine Surgery
State-of-the-art "keyhole" surgery techniques. Dr. Rahul uses tubular retractors and endoscopes to treat spine issues through tiny incisions, ensuring less pain and faster discharge.
Spine Tumors
Specialized neuro-oncology care for spinal growths. We perform precise microsurgical removal of benign and malignant tumors pressing on the spinal cord to prevent paralysis.
Pediatric Neurosurgery
Gentle, Specialized Care for Little Warriors
Treating neurological conditions in children requires a delicate touch and specialized expertise. Dr. Rahul Chhajed provides compassionate care for congenital defects and childhood conditions, ensuring the best start for your child's future.
Meningocele & Meningomyelocele
Surgical correction for serious congenital spinal defects where the protective sacs or spinal cord protrude. Early intervention is critical to prevent infection and preserve nerve function.
Spina Bifida
Comprehensive management of "split spine" conditions. Dr. Rahul Chhajed performs precise reconstructive surgeries to close the spinal defect, protecting the exposed nerves and preventing future complications.
Pediatric Hydrocephalus
Treatment for fluid accumulation ("water on the brain") in infants. Dr. Rahul Chhajed offers VP Shunts and endoscopic (ETV) options to relieve pressure and ensure normal brain development.
Pediatric Tumors
Specialized neuro-oncology for children. Dr. Rahul Chhajed focuses on the safe, maximal removal of brain and spine tumors while prioritizing the preservation of the child's developing brain and quality of life.
Miscellaneous & Peripheral Nerve Surgery
Specialized Solutions for Nerve Compression and CSF Leaks
Beyond the brain and spine, Dr. Rahul Chhajed offers expert surgical care for peripheral nerve entrapments and complex cerebrospinal fluid leaks, ensuring complete neurological recovery.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Relief for numbness and pain in the hand caused by nerve compression at the wrist.Dr. Rahul performs a simple, effective release surgery to free the median nerve and restore hand function.
CSF Rhinorrhea Repair
Advanced repair for Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) leaks through the nose. Using minimally invasive endoscopic techniques, Dr. Rahul identifies and seals the leak at the skull base to prevent meningitis and infection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Common Patient Queries About Brain, Spine & Trauma Care in Mumbai
Modern spine surgery, especially Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS), is highly safe. Dr. Rahul Chhajed uses advanced navigation technology to minimize risks and ensure precision.
MISS is a technique that uses small incisions (keyhole) instead of large cuts. This results in less muscle damage, minimal blood loss, less pain, and a much faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Yes, depending on the tumor type and location. We offer endoscopic treatments (through the nose) for pituitary tumors and use advanced radiosurgery options where applicable. Dr. Rahul will recommend the least invasive, effective option.
With minimally invasive techniques, many patients walk on the same day or the next day. Complete return to desk work is often possible within 2-3 weeks, though heavy lifting should be avoided for a few months.
Yes, our clinic and affiliated hospitals in Mumbai accept all major health insurance and mediclaim policies. Our team can assist you with the cashless authorization process.
You should consult a specialist if your headache is sudden and severe (thunderclap), accompanied by vomiting, vision changes, weakness, or if it persists despite regular medication.
Absolutely. Over 80% of back pain and sciatica cases are resolved with medication, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes. Surgery is only recommended when conservative treatments fail or if there is nerve damage.
Success depends on the tumor type and location. However, with Dr. Rahul’s expertise in microsurgery and neuro-monitoring, we achieve excellent tumor resection rates while preserving critical brain functions.
Yes, we provide emergency care for stroke patients. Timely intervention, such as Mechanical Thrombectomy or clot removal, can significantly reverse paralysis if the patient reaches the hospital within the “golden hour.”
DBS is a functional neurosurgery used for Parkinson’s disease and tremors. It involves placing electrodes in the brain to regulate abnormal impulses, significantly improving movement and quality of life.
Yes, Dr. Rahul specializes in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and spine fractures.
