Dr. Sameer Anand — Principal Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Sameer Anand is a Principal Consultant at Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, in Delhi NCR, with more than 26 years of experience across spine surgery and orthopedics.

His list is one of the broader ones in the specialty. The decompression work covers discectomy, endoscopic spine surgery and spinal stenosis surgery, with degenerative spinal stenosis, slip disc and spondylolisthesis among the conditions treated. The reconstructive work covers spinal fusion surgery, disc replacement surgery and spinal deformity correction across the cervical and thoracic spine. He also operates on spinal tumours and spinal trauma and treats spinal cord injury.

He read MBBS at Berhampur University in Orissa and holds the MRCS of the Royal College of Surgeons at Edinburgh. His training in minimally invasive spine procedures was taken in Austria and Singapore, which is what places endoscopic surgery on a list that also includes open fusion and deformity work.

His published work is in book form rather than journal papers. He has published on tuberculosis of the spine and on dysfunctions of the sacroiliac joint, both with CBS Publication. The sacroiliac joint title is notable on a spine surgeon's record, since it addresses a source of back pain below the lumbar spine itself.

He also presented results of ozone nucleoplasty as an alternative management for PIVD at North Zone DOACON, a technique offered as an alternative to the discectomy that is otherwise on his list.

Alongside Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital at Saket he practises at Max Hospital in Gurgaon.
