Precision neurosurgery, personalised for you

Expertise in MVD surgery

Brain surgery and Spine surgery

Advanced Brain Surgery

From brain tumors and aneurysms to trigeminal neuralgia and hydrocephalus, brain surgery demands more than precision — it demands the right tools in the right hands. Every procedure uses high-powered microscopes, endoscopes, intraoperative neuromonitoring, and surgical navigation, guided by one principle: remove as much as safely possible, and protect everything that cannot be replaced.

Advanced Spine Surgery

Chronic back pain, leg weakness, loss of sensation — when symptoms point to a surgical cause, precision determines everything. From spinal stenosis and slipped disc to spinal cord compression and spinal tumours, spine surgery in Pune — including minimally invasive options — is approached with the same rigour every diagnosis demands.

MVD surgery

Trigeminal neuralgia — sometimes called the "suicide disease" for the severity of its pain — along with hemifacial spasm and glossopharyngeal neuralgia, are conditions frequently misdiagnosed and undertreated. Microvascular decompression (MVD), performed by a specialist of sufficient experience, could offer lasting relief where medication has failed — over 3,000 MVD surgeries performed to date.

What We Treat

Conditions We Treat

Conditions that require more than a general neurosurgical approach — treated by a specialist neurosurgeon in Pune with three decades of focused experience.

The Person Behind the Surgeon

Know your Doctor

Dr. Jaydev Panchawagh is a neurosurgeon in Pune with 30 years of experience in brain, spine, and MVD surgery — and nearly double those years as a teacher, a writer, an artist, a sitar player, a diver, and a sportsman.

He does not keep these worlds separate. The stillness required to play a classical instrument at its highest level is not different from the stillness required in a long brain or spine surgery. The discipline of sport. The calm of deep water. The curiosity of a writer. These are not distractions from surgery — they are what the best neurosurgical care, and a remarkable career, is built on.

Excellence

Doing surgery well, every time,

is the only way to do it.

Precision

Every nerve, every vessel — nothing in the operating room is incidental.

Empathy

Every consultation begins with listening. The surgery comes after.

Compassion

Surgery is one chapter.

We care about the whole story.

Patient stories

After suffering facial spasms for 6 years, meeting Dr. Jaydev Panchawagh changed my life. His professionalism, clarity, and surgical expertise restored my confidence. The entire process—pre to post-op—was seamless. I'm deeply grateful to him and his exceptional team.

I'm a medical doctor from Myanmar, treated for left-side hemifacial spasm by Dr. Panchawagh after discovering his YouTube video. Immediately post-MVD surgery, my facial spasms vanished, and my normal face returned. Deepest gratitude to Dr. Panchwagh, Mrs. Savita, and the neurosurgical team.

Hemifacial spasm & MVD

My 69-year-old father suffered from intense Trigeminal Neuralgia pain. Medicines had side effects, and other therapies offered only temporary relief. We chose MVD surgery with Dr. Jaydev Panchawagh, known for his MVD expertise in India. The results were immediate. One month later, my father lives pain-free and fearless. Grateful to Dr. Panchwagh and his wonderful team

“We came from Akola for my mother's severe face pain and throat pain. She had received many medicines and injection before this. But she had no relief. We came here as Last resort because she was in extremely severe pain and unbearable. Immediately the doctor and his team got MRI done, spoke to us in detail about trigeminal neuralgia and glossopharyngeal neuralgia and give us option of surgery. Within three days time my mother underwent MVD surgery and she is absolutely pain free after the surgery. Thank you sir and entire team.”

About 2.5 years back, I got the scary news—a tumor in my upper spine. I panicked big time when they suggested surgery. But Dr. Jaydev Panchawagh, this amazing neurosurgeon, sat me down and explained everything clearly—what could go wrong, what to expect. He didn't rush me; he made me feel heard. His whole team was incredible, holding my hand through all the pre-op tests, the operation itself, and the recovery afterward. They checked on me constantly, answered every silly question. Today, I'm tumor-free with zero chance of paralysis. Dr. Panchawagh and his team saved my life and gave me back my normal days. I am really thankful to him and his team!

Have Questions?

Frequently Asked Question

Brain Tumour
What is a brain tumour?
A brain tumour is an abnormal growth of cells in or around the brain, which may be benign or malignant.
What are the symptoms of a brain tumour?
Persistent headaches, seizures, vision changes, loss of balance, and difficulty with speech or coordination.
Is brain tumour surgery available in Pune?
Yes. Treatment depends on the tumour's type and location and may include surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy — brain tumour surgery in Pune is performed here using microscopic and neuronavigation-guided techniques.
What is a spinal tumour?
It is a growth within or around the spinal cord that can affect nerve function.
What are the symptoms of a spinal tumour?
Back pain, numbness, weakness, and difficulty walking are the most common symptoms.
Can spinal tumours be treated in Pune?
Yes. Spinal tumour surgery — often combined with radiation or medication — is available here in Pune, tailored to the tumour's location and type.
What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?
It is a severe nerve pain condition — sometimes called the "suicide disease" — affecting one side of the face, caused by irritation or compression of the trigeminal nerve.
What are the symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia?
Patients describe it as electric shock-like, stabbing, or burning pain lasting seconds to minutes, usually on one side of the face.
What triggers trigeminal neuralgia facial pain?
Brushing teeth, chewing, talking, or even a light breeze can trigger an attack.
What is Hemifacial Spasm?
It is involuntary twitching of the muscles on one side of the face.
What causes Hemifacial Spasm?
Usually a blood vessel compressing the facial nerve — similar to the vascular compression that causes trigeminal neuralgia.
Can Hemifacial Spasm be cured with MVD surgery in Pune?
Yes — microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery, performed here in Pune, can permanently relieve hemifacial spasm by removing pressure on the facial nerve.
What is MVD surgery?
Microvascular Decompression (MVD) is a surgery that relieves pressure on a cranial nerve — commonly the trigeminal or facial nerve — without damaging it.
Is MVD surgery safe?
Yes — in experienced hands, it's a highly effective and safe procedure. Case volume matters: Dr. Jaydev Panchawagh has performed over 3,000 MVD surgeries in Pune.
