    Overview

  • Dr. Sathwik R Shetty is a highly distinguished neurosurgeon at Old Airport Road with expertise in stereotactic neuromodulation, minimally invasive spine treatments, and complex endoscopic skull base interventions. He is currently practicing as a Consultant – Neurosurgery at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Bangalore. Dr. Shetty possesses elite, globally certified competency in executing Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) workflows and navigating intricate intracranial tumor resections. His precision-driven approach to correcting complex cranial and structural nerve anomalies has positioned him among the neurologist doctor in bangalore for advanced micro-surgical care.

  • Dr. Sathwik R Shetty completed his MBBS before earning his DNB in Neurosurgery from the National Board of Examinations, New Delhi. He further strengthened his expertise through Fellowship training in Functional Neurosurgery at KIMS, Secunderabad, Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery at Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, USA, and Deep Brain Stimulation at Toronto Western Hospital, Canada. His international exposure has enabled him to integrate advanced neurosurgical techniques and global best practices into patient care.

  • At Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Dr. Sathwik R Shetty commands a highly advanced clinical suite focused on structural and functional neural optimization. He holds master-level proficiency in applying Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and severe tremors, alongside charting successful micro-surgical interventions for medically refractory epilepsy. His operational spectrum features the removal of deep brain tumors (including craniopharyngiomas and sphenoorbital meningiomas), managing complex cerebrovascular diseases, and delivering high-acuity neurotrauma care for severe head and spine injuries, establishing his reputation as an elite neurologist doctor in bangalore for structural pathologies.

  • Dr. Sathwik R Shetty's extensive career is profoundly backed by his peer-reviewed research, academic publications, and award-winning surgical innovations. He secured the prestigious 'Best Paper' award at the Neuro-Spinal Surgeons Association of India (NSSA) for his work on C1-C2 joint distraction and fusion using spacers, alongside the 'Best Paper' title at the Skull Base Surgery Society of India (SBSSI) for his insights into repairing persistent Sternberg's canal causing CSF rhinorrhea. Most recently, his contributions to the field earned him the coveted European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (ESSFN) Award.

  • He maintains an active presence within the global neurosurgical collective, holding active memberships in the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS, USA), the European Association of Neurological Societies (EANS), and the Neurological Society of India (NSI). Fluent in English, Hindi, Kannada, Tulu, Telugu, Tamil, and Bengali, Dr. Shetty creates an exceptionally comfortable and multi-lingual clinical environment. He follows a deeply compassionate, patient-first methodology, helping individuals and their caregivers navigate intricate neurosurgical interventions with complete safety, structural absolute transparency, and clear clinical confidence.
