Dr Shabari Girishan is a consultant epilepsy & functional neurosurgeon in Bangalore with over 10 years of experience in Neurosurgery. After MBBS and specializing in General surgery from Bangalore Medical College, he secured the M.Ch. degree in Neurosurgery from the prestigious institute of Christian Medical College, Vellore, which is the first center to start Neurosurgical services in India. He continued to work as an assistant professor for 3 years in CMC, Vellore after which, he worked as a consultant in St. John’s Medical College, Bangalore. During this period, he was actively involved in the neuro oncology and pediatric neurosurgery practice. He then completed 2 years of fellowship in the subspeciality of Epilepsy & Functional Neurosurgery at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi, which is ranked as the top medical institute and an institute of national importance under the Central Government ministry of Science and Technology.
These fellowships provided a multimodality approach in managing complex epilepsies and movement disorders, head, neck, and brain tumors by integrating skills of operative neurosurgery and functional neurosurgery. He is one among the few neurosurgeons in India who can provide both surgical cure for epilepsy and provide relief for movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease by deep brain stimulation. He is a member of various national and international neurosurgical societies, holds academic posts and has many indexed publications and book chapters to his credit. His areas of interest are Epilepsy surgery, Functional Neurosurgery (Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s disease, tremors, dystonia), Pain interventions (Spinal Cord Stimulation), Neuro-oncology-brain and spine tumor surgery, Skull base surgery, and Pediatric Neurosurgery. He is currently pursuing Ph.D. at Indian Institute of Science by working on a project to develop a brain co-processor for neurorehabilitation.
