In the precision-driven world of neurosurgery, a single millimeter can be the difference between a life-changing recovery and a permanent functional deficit. Dr. Ankit Mathur is a highly specialized neurosurgeon in Indore who has dedicated his career to navigating these high-stakes boundaries. Currently a Consultant in the Department of Neurosciences at Apollo Hospitals, Indore, Dr. Ankit Mathur brings nearly two decades of clinical experience to Central India, specializing in the brain, complex spine, and skull base.

His surgical approach is rooted in functional preservation. This philosophy ensures that while a tumor or pathology is aggressively addressed, the patient’s motor skills, speech, and personality remain fully protected. For patients and families in Indore, Dr. Ankit Mathur is recognized not just for his surgical hands, but for his ability to translate complex diagnoses into clear, patient-centered recovery plans.

Academic Foundation and Global Training

Technical mastery in neurosurgery requires training at the highest level. Dr. Ankit Mathur’s academic journey is anchored in India's most prestigious medical institutions:

• MBBS: Rani Durgavati Vishwavidyalaya, Jabalpur.
• MS (Ke ʻoki nui): University College of Medical Sciences & GTB Hospital, New Delhi.
• MCh (Neurosurgery): G.B. Pant Hospital / Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC), New Delhi one of India’s most rigorous neurosurgical training grounds.
• International Fellowship: A specialized fellowship in Endovascular and Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery from the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies at the Medical Centre, East Tokyo, Japan.

This international exposure to Japanese neurosurgical protocols allows Dr. Ankit Mathur offers endovascular and micro-neurosurgical techniques that are standard in global medical hubs, right here in Indore.

Technical Edge: The Awake Craniotomy

Perhaps the most significant clinical differentiator in Dr. Ankit Mathur’s practice is his expertise in Awake Craniotomy. This procedure is a masterclass in neurosurgical coordination, used specifically when a brain tumor invades eloquent areas of the regions responsible for speech, limb movement, and cognitive processing.

The Real-Time Mapping Advantage

In a traditional surgery, a patient is under general anesthesia, making it impossible for the surgeon to check brain function during the resection. During an Awake Craniotomy, Dr. Ankit Mathur keeps the patient conscious but pain-free. As he resects the tumor, he communicates with the patient to map brain function in real-time. This immediate feedback loop allows him to remove the tumor as aggressively as possible while stopping the moment a functional pathway is at risk. This precision is why he is frequently cited as the best neurosurgeon in Indore for complex neuro-oncology.
