Dr. Kalidutta Das — Chief & Director of Spine Services in Delhi NCR

Dr. Kalidutta Das is Chief and Director of Spine Services at the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre in Delhi NCR, with more than 32 years of experience in spine surgery.

His list is degenerative spine work and the fractures that follow bone loss. He performs discectomy and microdiscectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion surgery, disc replacement surgery and vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, and he carries out spinal deformity correction. Cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, degenerative disc disease, degenerative spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis and slip disc are the conditions named on his profile.

He holds MBBS and an MS in orthopaedics, followed by the FNB in spine surgery from the National Board. His further training was taken abroad in two places with very different casemixes: a spine fellowship at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in the United Kingdom, and advanced training at Ospedale San Raffaele Hospital in Milan.

His presented work maps onto the same two areas as his list. A paper on lower cervical tuberculosis from C3 to C7 won the Gold Medal Award at ISSICON-2009 in Chandigarh, and he was faculty at the national and international Asia Pacific APCESS meeting at Jeju, Korea, where he presented on osteoporotic fractures and compared kyphoplasty with vertebroplasty. Both of those procedures are on his own list, so the comparison is one he makes in practice.

His record describes him as an active contributor to national and international presentations and publications in spine surgery. He practises at the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre in New Delhi.
