Dr. Nitin Dange
Director at MKN Cerebros
Dr. Nitin Dange is a senior neurosurgeon with more than two decades of experience in the management of complex disorders of the brain, spine and cerebral blood vessels. He has developed particular expertise in cerebrovascular neurosurgery and advanced endovascular treatment, with extensive experience in managing challenging conditions such as brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, stroke, intracranial vascular disease and other complex neurovascular disorders. His practice combines meticulous clinical assessment with a deep understanding of both microsurgical and minimally invasive endovascular treatment strategies, allowing each patient to be considered for the most appropriate and individualized approach.
With his extensive experience in complex neurosurgical and neurovascular cases, Dr. Dange is particularly focused on situations where careful decision-making, multidisciplinary planning and technical expertise are essential. His areas of interest include complex cerebrovascular surgery, endovascular neurosurgery, aneurysm treatment, stroke intervention, skull base surgery and the management of difficult neurological conditions requiring specialized care.
He launched the state-of-the-art Biplane Neuro Angiography Machine in the Department of Neurosurgery in BMC on 10th October 2018 at Seth GS Medical College and KEM Hospital, Mumbai, along with the Comprehensive Advanced Stroke Center — where treatment within the golden window period is the fastest in the country for acute ischemic stroke in public hospitals.
He has also launched a Biplane Cathlab with a hub-and-spoke model to enhance stroke care facilities at Gleneagles Hospital in Parel, Mumbai. He is actively involved in teaching and mentoring the next generation of neurosurgeons and neurointerventionists, with an emphasis on evidence-based practice, technical excellence and comprehensive patient care. At MKN Cerebros, his role represents the team’s senior clinical experience and expertise in managing some of the most complex neurosurgical and cerebrovascular conditions.
