FRCS Edinburgh and FEBNS Credentialled Neurosurgeon with St George's London Neuro-Oncology Fellowship and Cambridge University Press Publication

Neurosurgery is a sub specialty where the combination of international board certification, dedicated neuro-oncology fellowship, and peer-reviewed publication in the world's leading academic presses together determine the complexity of cranial and spinal conditions a surgeon can safely manage at the highest level.

Dr Shetty's profile combines three distinct international credentials: FRCS Neurosurgery from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, FEBNS from the European Board of Neurosurgery, and Fellowship in Neuro-Oncology from St George's University Hospital, London. This triple international credentialling is genuinely rare among neurosurgeons practising in India.

His Cambridge University Press publication (2024) on cranial and spinal tuberculosis infections in the Elements in Emergency Neurosurgery series, alongside his Journal of Neuro-Oncology publication (2024) from the INTERVAL-GB multi-centre glioblastoma imaging study (BNTRC Collaborative), confirm international academic engagement at the highest level of neurosurgical publishing.

His clinical scope across neuro-oncology, skull base surgery, endoscopic brain surgery, cerebrovascular surgery, spine surgery, awake craniotomies with brain mapping, DBS, and paediatric neurosurgery reflects the full breadth of modern neurosurgical practice. Combined with Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and European Board of Neurosurgery memberships, intraoperative imaging capability (neurosonography, fluorescence), and multilingual consultation in English, Kannada, Hindi, and Tulu, this depth of triple internationally credentialled neurosurgery is now offered through Manipal Hospital, Kanakapura Road.
