Neurosurgical training
Mr Joshi undertook a Fellowship at John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, was a Specialist Registrar at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London, and a Specialist Registrar at the St Bartholomew’s Hospital and the Royal London Hospitals, London.
Research and interests
Traumatic brain and spinal injury. Study on headache in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms.
Mr Joshi is currently involved in clinical studies involving patients with brain tumours and minimally invasive key-hole spinal and cranial neurosurgery.
While training in London, he performed landmark clinical studies and presentations on endoscopic pituitary surgery, bone cement injections in collapsed vertebrae, and minimal invasive spinal fusion. All these procedures are now standard national and international minimally invasive treatment options.
Mr Joshi has published and presented widely both nationally and internationally on brain tumours, spinal pathologies, minimally invasive cranial and spine operations, head injury and spine trauma, with articles in peer-reviewed journals including first author original articles, and keynote presentations in international meetings.
Minimally invasive (keyhole) and general spinal surgery
Mr Joshi has a broad range of interests in bone cement injections in osteoporotic and tumour related spine fractures for pain relief and immediate mobilization. He is also interested in percutaneous procedures (keyhole) for spinal surgery to facilitate rapid recovery and early return to normal daily functions by reducing post-operative pain. Mr Joshi is involved in artificial disc replacement in spinal surgery to maintain motion and minimize adjacent discs degeneration.
Minimally invasive and endoscopic cranial surgery
Mr Joshi undertakes intraoperative neuro-navigation, awake craniotomies and endoscopic cranial surgery.
Multidisciplinary approach for tumours, pain, and spinal pathologies
Mr Joshi works in close collaboration with neuro-oncologists, pain anaesthetists and interventional neuro-radiologists with regards to surgical management of these conditions.
