👨‍⚕️ About Dr. Avinash K M

Dr. Avinash K M is a distinguished Senior Consultant Neuro & Spine Surgeon and Interventional Neurosurgeon based in Bengaluru, with over 22 years of dedicated experience. A graduate of J.J.M. Medical College (MBBS) and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (MS, MRCS), he pursued intensive neurosurgical training at the prestigious KEM Hospital, Mumbai — home to India’s only WFNS-accredited Skull Base Surgery training programme.

His advanced training spans three continents — including a Fellowship in Interventional Neurosurgery from Zurich, Switzerland, a Fellowship in Minimally Invasive & Endoscopic Neurosurgery from Germany, and advanced training in Vascular & Skull Base Neurosurgery in Japan. He is currently affiliated with Sparsh Hospital, Yelahanka.

Dr. Avinash is among the very few neurosurgeons worldwide proficient in both open microvascular and endovascular procedures. His expertise spans brain aneurysm management, AVM treatments, skull base surgeries, and minimally invasive spine care — delivering patient-focused, unbiased, and innovative neuro-care.

A Rare Dual Expertise

Dr. Avinash is one of a limited number of neurosurgeons worldwide trained in both treatment pathways for brain vascular disease — allowing him to recommend the right approach for each patient, without bias toward either technique.

🔬 Open Microvascular Neurosurgery

Traditional surgical clipping of aneurysms, AVM resection, and direct microsurgical treatment of cerebrovascular conditions.

🩻 Endovascular Neurosurgery

Minimally invasive catheter-based techniques — aneurysm coiling, AVM embolization, and carotid stenting — performed from inside the blood vessel.
